Board of Directors

Quality

At Baldor, we use many internal measurements for "quality." However, we are referring here to quality as perceived by our customers.

That's why we spend thousands of hours every year talking to our customers, in person, to see how we measure up. We're proud to say that Baldor consistently grades very high in every aspect.

There is no perfect score, of course, but we're headed in the right direction. In 200, 90% of all known customer studies named Baldor first when asking "What motor line do you prefer?"

Service

We believe that "service" goes beyond responding to customer requests. It must exceed expectations by offering answers and solutions before they're needed. This includes availability of accurate information -- an area that's increasingly important in this age of instant decisions.
Our industry-leading CD-ROM and Web site make information immediately accessible to all our customers. Baldor even offers extensive training classes, on site.

But Service also involves trust. Customers must believe in Baldor products. It gets down to reputation, something every Baldor employee values highly and takes very seriously.

Cost

We understand that the true "cost" of a motor or drive goes far beyond its purchase price. An energy-efficient motor saves money in the user's electricity costs, providing long-term savings that pay back the initial investment many times over. Baldor has been designing, manufacturing and marketing energy-efficient motors since 1920.

Many Baldor motors feature our exclusive ISR® (Inverter Spike Resistant®) wire. This helps extend the life of our motors and minimizes repair and replacement costs. And with Matched PerformanceTM pairings of motors and controls, our customers get lab-tested performance ratings that can sometimes save half the energy costs.

Time

Time is a variable that plays an increasingly vital role in our customers' businesses. Quality, service and cost mean little if our customers can't get our products or information when they need them.

Our unique FLEX FLOWTM manufacturing process allows us to produce a wide variety of motors and drives in the industry's shortest lead times. And custom motors and drives are available for delivery in an industry-best three weeks or less.

On-line stock availability, order status and shipping information keep Baldor customers informed up to the minute.
