Founded in 1944, Franklin Electric is celebrating their 75th anniversary this year and has grown from a small motor manufacturing company into a leading global provider of systems and components for moving water and fuel. Hundreds of well pump systems throughout the Willamette Valley are running Franklin Electric pumps, motors and VFD controllers installed by Stutzman Services.

We have enjoyed a mutually beneficial partnership with Franklin Electric for many years and this trip was a tremendous opportunity to strengthen that relationship while learning more about their research, development, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and training processes.

A special thank you to Franklin Electric Board Chairman and CEO Gregg C. Sengstack, along with Ryan Johnson, Vice President, Sales-US/Canada North America Water Systems, for taking the time to meet and explore the future of water movement and management. Here’s to many more years of this healthy partnership as together, we connect people to life!
