Chapman Electric Company was founded in 1935 in Dallas, Texas by Clifford "RED" Chapman. Red received his degree in electrical engineering from Texas A&M and began his business in his backyard. Red served as an officer in the U.S. Army in WWII where he designed battery re-manufacturing facilities that were set up overseas. Upon his return, he moved his shop to downtown Dallas and specialized in batteries and re-manufacturing electric motors for streetcars. Clifford G. Chapman Jr. took over his fathers business in the early sixties and saw the needs for the material handling industry. He then began specializing in servicing electric forklift motors. Chapman Electric Company. is now in its third generation of family ownership with James and Chris Chapman. Through the experience of their predecessors, Chapman Electric Company has continued to grow as we now service customers throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. We at Chapman Electric have always put our customers first. Our quality, and customer support is the very best in the industry. This has not changed since the beginning in 1935 as we continue our familiy tradition.
