From the beginning
In 1916, J. Walter Becker started
the Ideal Commutator Dresser Company of Chicago from his mother's
kitchen. He manufactured commutator dresser stones with the belief
that every product should be worth more than the price paid for it.
Service, he said, was part of the product. That idea has been the
core IDEAL business principle for 84 years. Today, the many loyal
distributors and customers that make IDEAL successful are a testament
to Becker's original philosophy.
