WEG

Founded in 1961 in the state of Santa Catarina in Brazil, WEG is acknowledged today as one of the largest manufacturers of electric motors in the entire world. Named after the initials of the three founders Werner, Eggon, and Geraldo, the global giant was already exporting its inventory to South and Central America by 1970. Due to their no-compromise stance on quality, WEG qualified for the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standards in the same year.
