Franklin Electric

Franklin Electric is bringing all the benefits of its high-performance VR Series Vertical Multi-Stage Pumps paired with premium efficiency TEFC motors and variable frequency drives to a new package: the VR SpecPAK™ Pressure Boosting System.

Whether you install 100 drives a year or 10, you want to be up and running as quickly as possible. Franklin Electric’s new Cerus® X-Drive Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is designed for intuitive and streamlined programming so users can get to full operational capabilities in less time – no matter what the application or market. Plus, the Cerus X-Drive has the ability to handle variable torque applications up to 700 horsepower, for more power when you need it; and energy-savings when you don’t.

The Franklin Control Systems brand will be adopting the name of our parent company and transitioning to Franklin Electric.  We feel this better represents our ability to offer system solutions, as Franklin Electric offers pumps, motors, drives, and controls for use in a wide variety of installations

FCS was named Portland’s top manufacturing company of 2019 (51-100 employee category) at the Portland Business Journal Makers and Manufacturers Awards. The award ceremony took place at the Sentinel hotel, where FCS President Travis Wood praised the hard work and dedication of all employees. 

Franklin Control Systems held a charity auction benefiting the United Way of Columbia-Willamette.  Over 30 items were up for auction, with additional funds being raised via a 50/50 drawing.  

Franklin Control Systems has been selected as one of the 2019 Manufacturing Companies of the Year in the 51-100 employee category by the Portland Business Journal.  The Makers and Manufacturers Awards honor companies in Oregon and Southwest Washington for outstanding and innovative practices.  

Last week a group from FCS volunteered at Junior Achievement's BizTown, a simulated community for 4th-6th graders. FCS volunteers oversaw several classes of 5th graders as they ran the show, conducting business and carrying out transactions and projects throughout the day.

Earlier this month, FCS broke out the dunk tanks in an effort to raise funds for the local United Way. It was a fun event for a great cause, as FCS management sacrificed their comfort and dignity to give their fellow employees a chance to dunk them.  

This March we will be donating a portion of our proceeds from select starter sales to the Oregon and SW Washington chapter of the ALS Association.  Contact your FCS sales rep or local FCS distributor for more information on this charitable promotion.
