About WorldWide Electric Corporation

WorldWide Electric Corporation is headquartered in Rochester, New York, and has operated since its founding in 1998. The company began with a focus on responsive customer service and a product line of industrial electric motors, motor controls, gear reducers, and generators. Today the company manufactures and supplies a broad range of power transmission and electrical equipment. Its core lines include AC and DC motors, gear reducers, motor controls, generators, rotary and solid-state frequency converters, and permanent magnet alternators. Through acquisitions, WorldWide Electric has added specialty motor capabilities: Louis Allis (acquired 2020) builds and repairs custom motors up to 15,000 HP at an ISO 9001:2015 facility in Warrior, Alabama; Gleason-Avery (2021) produces fractional and sub-fractional gear motors in Auburn, New York using automatic winding equipment, gear hobbing machines, and machining centers; Georator (2021) provides frequency conversion and alternator products; and North American Electric (2024) operates a UL508A-certified panel shop in Hernando, Mississippi. The company maintains $70–80 million in inventory across seven to eight regional warehouses. WorldWide Electric serves electrical equipment and power transmission distributors, original equipment manufacturers, and solution packagers across agriculture, construction, aggregate, material handling, oil and gas, irrigation, wastewater, food processing, general manufacturing, military, and municipal markets. Customers typically engage when downtime threatens productivity, seeking drop-in replacements or custom-engineered solutions. The company's founding philosophy centers on minimizing customer downtime through three pillars: proven quality products, extensive in-stock availability, and same-day shipping backed by 24/7 technical support. It also offers stock-and-ship programs, pre-built kits, and custom panel manufacturing to extend partners' capabilities.
