Rochester, NY / Manassas, VA – WorldWide Electric, LLC announced that it has acquired Georator Corporation and its subsidiary, Athlon. With this acquisition, WorldWide Electric added frequency converters and generators to its offering of motors, motor controls, and gear reducers.
Established in 1950, Georator Corporation designs and manufactures a complete line of rotary and solid- state power frequency converters for 50 hertz (Hz), 60Hz, and 400Hz applications in the industrial, aerospace, and government sectors. WorldWide Electric will continue to 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 line of generators for industrial applications. Over the past decade, Athlon AC synchronous generators have become a 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.
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.
