The Story Begins in 1967. In 1967, the uncle/nephew team of Eric Loeffler and Hans Krueger saw the need for a generator set manufacturing company to make equipment for the fast growing San Francisco/San Jose Bay Area, particularly for what would soon become known as Silicon Valley. They succeeded from the very beginning by making high quality units and by being willing to custom tailor their equipment for the specific needs of their customers.
Throughout the 1970's and the 1980's they continued to prosper by broadening their product line to include Automatic Transfer Switches & Motor-Generator (frequency converter) sets and by extending the customer base to include customers around the world - including NATO and the U.S. Army. They were awarded several patents during these years. The business became so large they took on another shareholder, David Loebree, who added an extensive marketing background to the technical & manufacturing expertise of the founders. The manufacturing era peaked at $32mm in revenues and 70 employees.
Manufacturing Ends. The company changed hands in 1980, upon the retirement of the major shareholders. The company changed hands a 2nd time in 1985, upon the death of the owner.
When the regional manufacturing business model became unviable in the mid-1980's, it was replaced by other, more profitable, activities including distribution of the products of other manufacturers, temporary rental of units, and, service and maintenance (i.e., a full-line distributor).
Current Ownership. Current ownership purchased the company in 1988. The company continued to operate profitably as a full-line distributor until 2001. At that time the company suffered a substantial loss (their first and only), matching the downturn in the national and world economy (and the “dot-com” bust). The company righted themselves quickly by an aggressive sales effort, coupled with an increased focus on their core, profitable, service and maintenance business. This focus led, over the next few years, to formally changing the business model to that of a pure service and maintenance company, geared for controlled growth. Automatic Transfer Switch & Motor-Generator sales were retained. Revenues and profits returned in 2002 and the company has shown solid, steady, and consistent growth since then.
