About Seller: Electric Indicator Company (ELINCO) was established in 1926 in Stamford, Connecticut with the purpose of manufacturing instruments and controls for electric utility companies. During World War II, the company ventured into the specialty fractional horsepower motor industry and has been dedicated to designing and producing high-performance precision electric motors in Connecticut ever since. The company relocated to various cities in Connecticut over the years, finally settling in Fairfield and Bridgeport in 2000. In that same year, some US motor manufacturing operations were moved to Asia while light manufacturing and value-added processes were consolidated in Fairfield and Bridgeport. In 1991, ELINCO acquired Japanese Products Corporation, which provided a strong salesforce for distribution and high-tech products from Nidec-Servo (formerly Japan Servo). Japanese Products Corporation, founded in 1969, experienced rapid growth in the 1970s and 1980s in various markets, including Hard Disk Drives. JPC continued to expand in the 1990s and 2000s across industries such as medical devices, lighting, automotive, and telecommunications. ELINCO's sister company, Elinco International, Inc., specializes in manufacturing brushless DC motors. Elinco JPC boasts a team of executives and managers with extensive experience in the motor and air moving product industry. The company has established a robust sales network in North America and maintains strong working relationships in Asia and Europe. Elinco JPC's primary focus is on brushless DC motors and cooling fans, along with value-added operations involving encoders, gears, gearboxes, standalone drivers/controllers, and fully integrated motion or cooling systems. The company is known for pioneering the development of the Hysteresis Synchronous motor and being a leader in brushless DC motor technology. In the early 1980s, ELINCO introduced the slotless brushless DC motor, which offers unique performance advantages. This innovation has led to a strong proprietary and patented position in "slotless" brushless DC motor technology, with over 6000 motors produced to date. In 1993, Elinco JPC acquired the General Electric SELSYN motor line, followed by the acquisition of the Inertial motor product line in 1994, which was relocated from Doylestown, Pennsylvania to the Norwalk plant. The Inertial products are known for their extremely low inertia and quick acceleration to 5000 RPM in less than one millisecond. Additionally, in 1994, Elinco JPC acquired a portion of the Philips Airpax motor line.
