Bison® Tech Stack

Fractional horsepower motors, gearmotors, and blowers for industrial OEMs

Appliances, Electrical, and Electronics Manufacturing Kent, Ohio 501–1,000 employees Founded 1915 Public Company

Bison manufactures electric motors, gearmotors, and fluid-moving equipment across six owned brands (Lamb, ROTRON, Prestolite Motors, Nautilair, Windjammer) for OEM customers in industrial automation, HVAC, and transportation. The hiring profile—18 manufacturing roles against 8 engineering—reflects a manufacturing-first operation scaling production capacity, while active projects center on process optimization (value stream mapping, poka yokes, preventive maintenance scheduling) and cost discipline rather than new product innovation. Tech stack is operationally mature: SAP + Oracle for enterprise resource planning, SolidWorks for design, Salesforce for CRM, and emerging Lean Six Sigma adoption.
