About EMSCO

 

Electric Motor Supply Company (EMSCO) helps keep facilities running and projects on schedule—especially when lead times won’t work and the right equipment is hard to source, discontinued, or tied to legacy systems. Family-owned since 1948, we serve customers across the U.S., Canada, and beyond with deep in-stock new, used, obsolete, and refurbished industrial electrical power distribution equipment. Find. Fix. Fast.

Proof you can plan around: 250,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Minneapolis, MN • 1M+ components in stock • 26+ miles of bus duct1-year warranty on refurbished products.


Your Trusted Partner for Industrial Electrical Solutions

For decades, EMSCO has been a go-to source for industrial electrical components, power distribution equipment, and motor controls—supporting everything from emergency downtime needs to planned maintenance and upgrades. Whether you need one hard-to-find part or you’re planning a major expansion, we focus on what matters most: the right product, the right configuration, and a fast, clear path to delivery.


Why EMSCO

  • In-stock depth (not “subject to availability”): Our warehouse inventory is built to solve urgent needs and complex projects.
  • Flexible sourcing: Choose new, used, obsolete, or refurbished options that fit your timeline and budget.
  • Refurbished you can trust: Refurbished components are tested and inspected to meet or exceed PEARL standards and include a 1-year warranty.
  • Legacy & obsolete matching: Send part numbers, nameplates, or photos—we’ll help identify the right product and configuration.
  • Fast answers: Clear communication, quick quotes, and practical support from an experienced team.

Note: Not every item in our warehouse is listed online or available to purchase on the website. If you don’t see what you need—or if online purchase isn’t available—call us for a real-time inventory check and options. Chances are, it’s here—or we can source it fast. If you see “Contact us for price,” it simply means we’ll quote it to confirm the correct configuration and current pricing—not that it’s out of stock.
