Smith Services® is home to one of the largest, most advanced electric motor and generator service facilities in the region. Based in Princeton, West Virginia, we support operations across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic with a comprehensive range of services and supply options, both in-house and on-site.
Our experts leverage deep knowledge and centuries of combined experience — from fractional to multi-thousand horsepower, across repair, engineering, design, and field service — to minimize downtime and keep applications running.
And now, as part of Timken Power Systems (TPS), we are one of the largest drive train aftermarket solutions providers in the country. Our experts leverage the TPS network to service gearboxes, accessing the intellectual property of brands including Philadelphia Gear®, Western Gear®, WesTech Gear®, Standard Machine®, and Hamilton Gear®.
Built on decades of trusted performance
Founded in 1981, Smith Services established its reputation as a one-stop shop for inspecting, overhauling, and upgrading industrial motors and generators.
After opening locations across Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, and Virginia, we consolidated our services into our current West Virginia repair facility in 2000.
The Timken Company purchased Smith Services in 2013. Today, we maintain the same commitment to service and expertise — now with the ability to serve more customers than ever before.
