Reuland Electric began in the 1930s as a repair shop. They introduced their first motor in 1945. In 1963 they moved from Alhambra to City of Industry. They are still in business and still make various types of high-quality specialty motors.
At some point in their history, perhaps in the '50s and '60s, Reuland also made grinders and pneumatic sanders.
