When Failure Is Not an Option.

Wherever You Need Ruggedized Motors and Controls, You’ll Find Ward Leonard.

We’re there, on oilrigs from the Arctic to the Amazon. We’re there, on the new CVN-78 aircraft carrier and three classes of Navy submarine. We’re there, in harsh industrial environments and nuclear power plants. Since 1892, when H. Ward Leonard invented the electrical motor control that transformed modern electrical distribution systems, our company has been a trusted name in defense and industry.

Today, when systems have to meet new standards for noise, shock, vibration and temperature extremes, Ward Leonard brings proven expertise. Our engineers have to satisfy the toughest specs—including MIL STD 17060—on technology that must serve for 30 years of continuous duty. For both new and refurbished systems, we’ve achieved that standard, time after time.

Industrial and DoD customers choose Ward Leonard because we’re a lean company, nimble enough to respond quickly to unique specs and critical service demands. We’re the go-to company for hard-to-find or obsolete spare parts. Above all, we offer an accessible, creative engineering team, ready to work side-by-side with you to solve problems and push performance limits.

Ward Leonard. Power solutions when the stakes are high.
