About UsOur enthusiasm for this business has stood the test of time. It has continued through three generations of a single family devoting themselves to the manufacture of motors and related power transmission components. It began over 80 years ago with Emil Doerr at St. Louis Electrical Works, later renamed Baldor Electric, with Emil as co-founder. In 1939, Emil's son Lee and two of his brothers founded Doerr Electric. Finally, in 1972, Lee's sons formed LEESON Electric Corporation. Few American companies can trace their roots so deeply, and fewer still can draw upon such a wealth of electric motor manufacturing experience.
LEESON Electric, the world¿s most customer-focused motor, gearmotor and drives company, has expanded our product offering with the addition of the Lincoln Motors, Grove Gear and Electra-Gear products. Lincoln Motors joined LEESON Electric in 2006 and has expanded the motor product line in large frame motors up to 700 hp.
Electra Gear, a leading supplier of industrial duty aluminum gear reducers, joined the LEESON product lineup in 2007. Grove Gear, one of the largest American manufacturers of standard and custom worm gear reducers, also joined LEESON's lineup in 2007. |
