Baldor Electric Company, headquartered in Fort Smith, Arkansas, designs, manufactures, and markets the broadest line of industrial energy-efficient electric motors, mechanical power transmission products, drives and gen-sets. The company was founded in 1920 on the premise that a better motor is one that uses less electricity, and that belief stands true today. Baldor products have exceptionally strong brand recognition for quality and value with our customers. In January 2011, Baldor was acquired by ABB, and we are now a proud member of the ABB group.
