Franklin Electric Turns 75



According to Franklin Electric's website:

A lot has changed at Franklin Electric since E.J. (Ed) Schaefer and T.W. (Wayne) Kehoe founded the company in 1944 in Bluffton, Indiana. Since then, we have grown from a small motor manufacturing company into a leading global provider of systems and components for moving water and fuel. What hasn’t changed are the core values we all share. We remain focused on our customers and dedicated to delivering on our Key Factors for Success. 2019 will be a celebration of all we’ve accomplished in many places and for many customers around the world.

Named after Benjamin Franklin, a pioneer in electrical engineering, Franklin Electric’s core is the world’s first reliable submersible electric motor for water systems, which has remained a staple of the water well industry. 75 years later, we continue to manufacture and distribute improved versions of this unrivaled motor design all around the world, and have expanded our expertise to create innovative solutions, including pumps, electronics, and adjacent products, addressing modern industry challenges and serving our customers’ needs. Whether you need to boost your water pressure, supply water to your household, water your garden, irrigate your crops, or tend your livestock, Franklin Electric has the right pumping system for the job.

We, at RC Worst & Company are happy to be a dealer for such a well respected company. Good job becoming a global leader of innovative technology in the water pumping world. I recently read a story of a Franklin motor that was in service since 1977. After 42 years of pumping water with very high iron content, the motor failed and need to be replaced. With quality assured and tested equipment this family wanted nothing but Franklin. With that kind of reputation it’s no wonder people demand Franklin Electric motors. Keep up the good work!
