Hansen Corporation was founded in 1907 by Julius W. Hansen, a German immigrant who had moved to Princeton, Indiana in 1905. The founder was a jeweler and watch maker by trade. His first recognition came when he designed the first automatic bell ringing system at the request of a local high school principal. This innovated product launched Hansen Manufacturing Company, Inc.

Today, Hansen Motor, (Hansen Corporation), is an ElectroCraft company that specializes in synchron motor and DC motor production as part of the ElectroCraft family of motion control products that provide dependable, application-engineered fractional-horsepower motors and motion control products.

ElectroCraft motion control solutions are found in thousands of different applications within industrial, commercial, and consumer product markets.
