B & O Electric Company

Company Overview

In 1974, Clyde Ognio and Marion Bennett established B and O Electric Company. The early work of the company involved church and school projects. During the late 1970s, Marion Bennett took a job at General Motors, which resulted in him leaving the company. B and O Electric Company became incorporated under Georgia law on March 22, 1984. With our growth, we found ourselves more drawn to industrial work than the projects we had undertaken before. With our skilled team and knowledge, we ventured into industrial work, particularly controls for food processing facilities. Our control projects have included systems for dry material storage, conveying, dough thickness, packaging, and conveyor management, among others. We utilized equipment like programmable logic controllers, variable frequency drives, and soft starters to implement these systems.
