WEG

We are WEG, driven by energy, technology, challenges and opportunities.

Here is one company that demonstrates hard work and passion really do make dreams come true. Werner Ricardo Voigt, Eggon João da Silva and Geraldo Werninghaus joined forces in 1961 and founded Eletromotores Jaraguá. Eventually changing its name to honour the three founders, WEG has now become one of the world’s largest manufacturers of electric motors and controls. Operating out of Duluth, Georgia, WEG now has seven distribution centers throughout Canada and the United States.

WEG’s commitment to growth, innovation, and teamwork have been the driving factor behind their forward movement. Now producing over 21 million individual items annually, WEG attributes this success to their state-of-the-art facilities and innovative processes. They will always strive to develop and improve on their industrial electrical solutions.
