Our Story
Southwest Electric Company was established when three brothers moved to Oklahoma City from Ft. Smith, Arkansas and opened an electric motor repair business. Over the years the business expanded into four motor repair centers covering all of Oklahoma, and parts of Kansas, Arkansas and Texas. In addition the Company began to dabble in Transformer repair and service an eventually into manufacturing their own designs for the oil and gas markets.
In the 1980’s, Southwest Electric Company was sold to its present owner. Since that time, the Tulsa operation moved into a larger facility and expanded into switchgear services and breaker repair. The three divisions located in Oklahoma City have all undergone major expansions in both capital equipment and square footage dedicated to the production and repair of motors and transformers. The Company also expanded its business portfolio to include custom switchgear design and manufacture based out of Louisville, Ohio moving into a brand new building in 2000. Additional areas of expansion include the acquisition of Substation Service operations and another Motor repair operation based out Nashville, Tennessee. The Company now provides goods and services across the U.S. as well as in countries around the world. Southwest Electric Company has grown and expanded its scope of activities since its inception through the eight locations listed below which represent over 230,000 square feet of productive floor space.
