1944

Founded In Bluffton, Indiana

Franklin Electric was founded in 1944 in Bluffton, IN, by E.J. Schaefer and T.W. Kehoe. They named the company Franklin Electric in honor of Benjamin Franklin, whom they considered the country’s first electrical engineer. The company’s first product was a backpack generator to power the radio equipment paratroopers used during WWII.
