A Family of 3 Generations
The original Caldwell Electric was formed in 1938 by Otto Caldwell Sr. In 1976, Otto Caldwell Jr. branched out on his own forming Industrial Electric Repairs & Sales, Inc., and later claimed the family namesake Caldwell Electric back in 2019, about 20 years after the original Caldwell Electric ceased operations. Otto Caldwell III (Hobie) returned to the family business in 2018 and now serves as president. Otto Caldwell Jr still shows up at the office everyday, offering his expertise on electric motors, and working on the occasional small single-phase motor.
