History

In 1919, two brothers began Rosendin Electric Motor Works. The company serviced the Santa Clara/San Jose agricultural community by wiring homes and shops, rewinding motors for wells and pumps and extending pole line facilities for utility companies. The company expanded its business to Central California through the '20's, The Great Depression, and World War II.

The end of World War II brought rapid commercial and industrial growth to the Santa Clara Valley and expanded work for Rosendin. The company grew from eight employees in the late 30's to ninety employees in the 1950s. In 1953 Rosendin Electric was incorporated as an electrical contractor in the State of California.
