Founded in 1944 by Paul Bush, Lubbock Electric Company opened its doors in a rented building in downtown Lubbock. In the beginning, the company consisted of one service truck and five employees, offering electric motor repair and field trouble-shooting of industrial motor and control systems. Being a service oriented company and responding to the needs of a growing customer base, LECO soon added product lines and additional services. By the early 1980s, LECO had accumulated more than 50 distributorships and had evolved into six distinct service departments.
