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. 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 a proud member of the ABB group.

Baldor is the largest motor and mechanical power transmission company in North America. Baldor•Reliance® motors range from 1/50th - 15,000 horsepower and have leading customer preference and market share. We sell and support the entire line of ABB IEC motors and medium voltage motors, along with the full range of ABB industrial drives. Customers can now create packaged solutions of Baldor and ABB industrial motors and drives for most industrial applications.

Baldor is a leading producer of mechanical power transmission products including Baldor•Dodge® engineered mounted bearings, enclosed gear products, and power transmission components as well as Baldor•Maska® pulleys and couplings. We also manufacture a complete line of gen-sets for industrial standby, portable and backup power needs. Baldor offers strong support and product solutions for the food & beverage, oil & gas, paper & forest, aggregate & cement, unit & air handling, water and power generation industries. The company provides reliable, application-specific products and expert knowledge for each of these markets. Installed Base Evaluations are also available to aid end users in reducing energy consumption with the right mix of industrial motors, drives and gearing in an application or throughout an entire facility.

More than 30 years ago, Baldor carefully defined "Value" as it is perceived by our customers. We define Value in terms of Quality and Service (both as perceived by the customer) in relation to Cost and Time (which are both measurable). The result is our "Value Formula" which has become a part of our culture. It guides our thinking and directs our work every day.
