DUBLIN, Ireland--March 31, 2006--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35099) has announced the addition of Motor/Generator/Pump/Compressor Mfg - Industry Profile to their offering.

US manufacture of electric motors, generators, pumps, and compressors (MGPC) involves about 1,000 companies, with combined annual revenue of $25 billion. Big manufacturers include AO Smith; IDEX; Franklin Electric; and operating divisions of large conglomerates like GE, Ingersoll-Rand, Emerson Electric, Dover, York International, and ITT Industries. The 20 largest companies control about 50 percent of the market. A typical large operation has $100 million of annual revenue, a single manufacturing location, and 500 employees.

Industrial and manufacturing companies drive demand. Profitability depends on sales volume because many costs are fixed. Small companies can compete by specializing. While larger companies, like GE, produce mainly a standard line of products, smaller companies are more likely to adapt products for customers' special needs. Annual revenue per employee is about $180,000; a bit lower for motor production and a bit higher for compressor production.

Products include about $12 billion of electrical motors and generators, $7 billion of pumps, and $6 billion of air and gas compressors. Fractional horsepower motors (fractions of one horsepower) account for the majority of motor and generator production; followed by integral horsepower motors (multiples of one horsepower); 'prime mover' generators (powered by prime movers like diesel or steam engines); and motor-generator sets.
