History

Shallbetter, Inc. is an innovator in the power distribution, power quality and power generation markets. Since our humble beginnings in Huron, SD, more than two decades ago, we have focused on the high quality products and customer-oriented solutions that are now synonymous with the Shallbetter name.

Founded in 1982, Shallbetter initially focused on commercial markets. The company grew quickly, entering into private branding agreements with major manufacturers, including ABB, Siemens, GE, Square D and others.

In just 30 short months, the company enhanced its focus on the utilities sector, expanding its product offerings in medium voltage switchgear.

When the company relocated to a custom-built facility in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in 1997, Shallbetter simultaneously entered the power generation market. By 1999, the company offered a complete systems approach, supplying distribution switchgear, generator controls and paralleling switchgear. In 2001, Shallbetter further diversified its product offerings to include mobile utility-grade switchgear, remote communications and on-site networking.

Today, Shallbetter has relocated to a new Oshkosh-based facility to accommodate its ever-growing business while it continues to offer high-quality, customer-oriented solutions.
