About Dreisilker Electric Motors

My father, Henry Dreisilker, came to America from Germany in 1954 seeking opportunity and gainful employment. Hard work and integrity landed him his first job in a small motor repair and appliance business. Seven months later he purchased the business and founded Henry Dreisilker Electric Motors and Appliance Service. His company began by specializing in commercial motor repair and sales. Combining old-world craftsmanship with advanced technology, the company grew steadily from three employees to over 120 today.
