Our History
Providing Solutions for Our Customer’s Problems
Founded in 1944 by Paul Bush, Lubbock Electric Company opened its doors in a rented building in downtown Lubbock. In the beginning, the company consisted of one service truck and five employees, offering electric motor repair and field troubleshooting of industrial motor and control systems. Being a service-oriented company and responding to the needs of a growing customer base, Lubbock Electric soon added product lines and additional services. By the early 1980s, Lubbock Electric had accumulated more than 50 distributorships and had evolved into six distinct service departments.
Lubbock Electric today
Looking Forward to Providing Many More Decades of Service
Today, Lubbock Electric’s primary business continues to be the sale and service of electric motors, air compressors, programmable controls, variable frequency drives, gear reducers, and power transmission equipment. Service departments include electric motor rewinding, cotton gin hydraulics, electrical control panel fabrication, and systems integration.
Electric motors are key components in most industrial plants and equipment and account for two-thirds of all electrical energy used by industrial/commercial applications. New technology makes the use of electric motors more efficient and safer than ever before, and the level of control possible with electric motors today would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Whether in the field of process control, automation or data acquisition, Lubbock Electric can provide timely, cost-effective solutions.
