WLACC Welcomes New Member

We are excited to welcome our newest member Electric Motor Company! Electric Motor Company has two locations, one in Redwood Falls and one here in Willmar (4343 Hwy 12 E). The business was started in 1970 by Pete Weis. The cornerstone of Electric Motor Company is electric motor repairs and sales. Jamie Parker and Greg Weis have been working for the company since the early 90's and bought the business from Pete in January 2013. They have been able to grow our business with the knowledge we have on how motors work and how to apply the right motor to the job. Their technical knowledge is second to none. They have had to move the business three times because they have outgrown the spaces where they were previously located. Greg runs the business here in Willmar and has relocated his family to the area within the past year. We are excited to watch them grow and continue to expand in the Willmar Lakes Area. Click on the link above to find out more about Electric Motor Company or to contact them.
