May 28, 1903, marked the start of a great American manufacturing story when The Ideal Electric & Manufacturing Company was founded inside of a converted carriage house in Mansfield, Ohio. At the time, who would have guessed IDEAL would grow into the globally recognized leader in specialty electric motors and generators it has become with thousands of machines running the world over. Today, we celebrate 119 years of IDEAL ELECTRIC under private, independent ownership and more than 100 years in our historic Ohio Works. We also celebrate all the individuals, engineers, craftspeople, suppliers, and our customers whose contributions over the years created cutting-edge technology, our industrious American work ethic, and demanding projects that lead to IDEAL's industry-leading high-quality manufacturing. With great pride, we continue to innovate, excel, and hold firm to our core values for you. So keep a lookout for more exciting IDEAL news in the second half of this year! |
