Creating A More Efficient Future

In accordance with Load Controls’ mission to make the industrial world more energy efficient, the firm has pioneered innovative ways to measure motor power levels for decades. These motor power controls are used not only to protect motors, pumps, and their attached processes, but also to provide key data to assess and identify motor inefficiencies.

Load Controls has also partnered with the UMass Amherst Water and Energy Technology Lab to research and test solutions to improve efficiency of drinking water distribution and waste treatment, as well as power quality research in third-world locations.

Load Controls lives its mission at its company headquarters, which include EV charging and wetlands fed by rainwater capture facilities. 100% of all greenhouse gases produced are offset, and 100% of all production waste is reused or recycled.
