Power will shape our future
In 1924, in southeast Texas, amidst the thriving Texas oil boom, a visionary man saw a unique chance to shape and cultivate a vital industry. This man was Louis Pearce Sr., who established Waukesha-Pearce Industries. After 100 years and four generations, we continue to honor our unwavering dedication to supporting our employees and fulfilling our customers’ immediate requirements and long-term objectives. We celebrate 100 years of offering innovative solutions and the best power equipment and construction machinery for today and future generations.
