Worldwide Electric ACQUIRES GEORATOR

Worldwide Electric, LLC has announced that it has acquired
Georator Corporation and its subsidiary, Athlon. With this
acquisition, Worldwide Electric is pleased to add frequency
converters and generators to its extensive offering of motors,
motor controls, and gear reducers.
Established in 1950, Georator Corporation designs and
manufactures a complete
line of rotary and solidstate
power frequency
converters for 50 Hz, 60
Hz, and 400 Hz applications
in the industrial,
aerospace, and government
sectors. Georator
products are recognized
for reliability and longevity,
many remaining in
continuous service for decades. Worldwide Electric will continue
to proudly manufacture Georator frequency converters
in the United States, at Worldwide Electric’s ISO certified
Louis Allis facility in Warrior, Alabama.
In 2009, the Georator Corporation founded Athlon to offer
a reliable line of generators for industrial applications. Over
the past decade, Athlon AC synchronous generators have become
a trusted staple in industrial, marine, and light tower
applications. Worldwide Electric will build on the success
of the Athlon product line through an expanded product offering
and improved delivery times while incorporating the
world-class customer experience that Worldwide Electric
customers have grown to appreciate and rely on.
Through this expanded product offering, Worldwide
Electric will become a more effective partner for their existing
customer base while also having the opportunity to meet and serve new customers. “Over the last 20 years, we’ve
worked hard to attract and maintain a loyal customer base
by providing exceptional customer service. We’re excited to
have the opportunity to serve our existing customers with
new products while also introducing a new set of customers
to the convenience of our customer-centric business
model. I’m truly excited to add these quality products to the
Worldwide Electric portfolio,” said Jim Taylor, president and
CEO at Worldwide Electric Corporation.
“We are pleased that a company with the outstanding track
record of Worldwide Electric will be carrying on our 70-year
history,” said George Ripol, retiring CEO of Georator. “We
have great confidence that Worldwide Electric will be able to
take Georator and Athlon to the next level.”
The acquisition of Georator and Athlon follows Worldwide
Electric’s acquisition of Louis Allis in the Spring of 2020,
making Worldwide Electric Corporation a single source for
off-the-shelf motors, controls, and gear reducers, custom
specialty and large horsepower motors, and now frequency
converters and generators.
