Malloy Electric announces capital upgrades

Malloy Electric, based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, acquired an additional horizontal boring mill to complement the existing Johnford boring mill for its Dakota Dunes location. The machine duo is designed to answer the market need for more extensive above-NEMA frame motor service up to 20,000 hp, as well as complementary major mechanical apparatuses.

“In addition to the Johnfords, our investment in the latest customized boring system innovations increases our capabilities while reducing setup times beyond traditional systems,” said Randy Thompsom, plant manager of the Dakota Dunes location.

Another significant Malloy Electric investment is an extensive universal commutator repair system for dc machines for the Mandan location to complement the new vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) system supporting the oil, gas and mining industries. “Investing in talent, technology and state-of-the-art facilities is not just about growth,” Chris Houwman, CEO of Malloy, said. “It’s about fostering an environment where great ideas and innovation thrive, enabling us to serve our customers better and solve their problems effectively.”

Furthermore, Elite Industrial in Gillette, Wyoming, a joint partner of Malloy, has increased the shop footprint by 20,000 sq ft, including a new test stand and a 40-ton crane.
