Whether it’s a motor-generator set or an emergency propulsion controller for a nuclear submarine, we know our Military customers have highly specialized power requirements that demand advanced technologies.

For over 125 years, we have manufactured tens of thousands of electric products for our Oil & Gas, Military and Heavy Industry customers — and all are designed and built for decades of continuous duty (that’s our Military pedigree — failure is not an option.)

And to maintain our standing as a Tier 1 Preferred Partner, we invest in talented people that are experts in their field, and in top of the line software and equipment. Which is why we encourage close customer involvement in all stages of development and production. We’ll work with you, one-on-one, to ensure that your exact requirements are met.

Built to last.
Built to perform.
In extreme conditions.

We Cut Lead Times, Not Corners.

In order to create high efficiency solutions for our customers, we know we have to do the same for ourselves. With continuous refining of all equipment and processes, our research, development, and manufacturing capabilities are now second to none. And as both the military and private industry increasingly focus on lean processes, we are able to:

Cut lead times dramatically
Create a highly efficient supply chain staffed with experienced managers
Build highly reliable supplier networks
Upgrade our manufacturing facilities without impacting costs

We live by continuous improvement, and take that spirit into all your programs and assignments.
