Sievert Electric was started in 1913 by C.A.Sievert, and was located in what was then the German section of Chicago around Ashland, Milwaukee and Division, and focused on electric motor repair and rewinding. In the late 1930’s the company expanded into the manufacture of electric motors under the brand name Oak Electric.

After World War II Sievert Electric partnered with Yale Hoist, and was the authorized master distributor for Yale hoists and overhead material handling products in the Midwest and the West.

In the late 1950’s the company expanded into electrical construction services. Then in 1987 the company moved to Forest Park, just west of Chicago, giving them a significantly larger production facility and added manufacturing and office space
