Electric Motor Shop Wake Forest was founded by Thomas Wright. This year marks the opening of the original location and the beginning of our journey in motor repair and service.
During this period, Electric Motor Shop expanded its business to a second location, primarily servicing pool pumps, well pumps, and small motors. These photos capture the early growth years as the shop built a foundation for future expansion.
As Electric Motor Shop grew, so did the business’s repair capabilities. As the business began working on larger industrial motors, space limitations required dismantling tall motors outdoors. After disassembly, the motors were moved inside for repair, then reassembled and tested outside.
Electric Motor Shop began establishing a reputation as a larger, more capable shop. The work on large industrial motors increased, and the business continued growing.
As the business and the Electric Motor shop’s reputation expanded, so did their facility. In 1991, Electric Motor Shop started making plans to build a larger facility. This marked a major milestone in the company’s growth.
The first building of our current location was completed. With leadership from Thomas and Ricky Wright, EMS began a new chapter, expanding capabilities and solidifying its place as a leader in the motor repair industry.
Since then, the building has been expanded four times to meet growing demand. . Since 1992, EMS has grown into one of the largest motor shops on the east coast, with the capabilities to compete with any motor shop.
