North American Electric

What North American Electric does

North American Electric, Inc. (NAE) is a U.S. electrical and electronic manufacturing firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Hernando, Mississippi. The company designs and produces electric motors and motor control products, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of WorldWide Electric (Rochester, New York). NAE's product portfolio is organized into two categories: General Purpose Motors—including aluminum-frame, open drip proof, and severe duty cast iron motors—and Special Purpose Motors—including close-coupled pump, crusher duty, explosion proof, oil well pump, rotary phase converter, vertical hollow shaft, and washdown stainless steel motors. The company also offers motor control solutions such as pre-designed packaged panels, custom panel assembly packages, an integrator kit program built around Siemens G120X Chassis, and CNC panel cutting services, all manufactured in a UL508A-certified facility.

NAE serves six vertical segments: industrial manufacturing (primary), material handling and construction, agriculture, oil and gas, wastewater, and food processing. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with a phone-based sales and customer service team (800-808-2131), 24/7 emergency support, and quote-based pricing rather than publicly disclosed rates. Distribution is handled through WorldWide Electric's eight regional warehouses, which collectively stock over $70 million in inventory to support fast delivery across all U.S. states. NAE participates in the Siemens Partner Program to support integrators and distributors, providing pre-engineered UL 508A-certified panels for general and hazardous-location applications.

Revenue mechanics are hardware sales of motors and motor controls, supplemented by custom panel assembly services for system integrators. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no revenue figures are available. The company has no publicly known funding rounds, M&A activity (aside from its acquisition by WorldWide Electric), or external investors disclosed in the available data.
