Traction Motors & Power Equipment for Oil & Gas Drilling
Apollo Electric started in the oilfield. Our founder, Bobby M. White, left Sedco Drilling to start the company in 1963, and drilling contractors have relied on us for traction motors, generators, and rebuilds ever since.
When a rig is down, every day costs money. Our inventory and in-house shop are built to get you running again fast.
