Renown Electric Motors & Repairs Inc., a leading provider of electric motor repairs and services, has proudly announced its designation as Ontario’s sole SKF Certified Electric Motor Rebuilder. This prestigious certification positions Renown Electric as a top-tier service provider with proven expertise, quality standards, and access to SKF’s advanced resources and technologies. The achievement underscores the company’s commitment to reliability, performance, and customer satisfaction.
Obtaining the SKF Certified Rebuilder status is no small feat. SKF, a global leader in bearings and mechanical engineering solutions, only awards this certification to shops that meet its strict requirements for excellence in electric motor repairs. With 40% to 70% of motor failures linked to bearing-related issues, ensuring that repairs are performed with precision is critical to extending motor service life, minimizing unplanned downtime, and driving long-term cost savings. Renown Electric’s electric motor rebuild certification means that businesses throughout Ontario can now benefit from repair services that meet SKF’s high standards for precision, reliability, and continuous improvement.
Jeff Collins, Partner at Renown Electric Motors & Repairs Inc., spoke on the importance of this certification. “Achieving SKF certification isn’t just a recognition of the work we’ve been doing—it’s a statement about where we’re heading,” Collins said. “We’ve always prioritized providing customers with repairs that deliver long-lasting reliability. Now, as an SKF Certified Electric Motor Rebuilder, we’re bringing world-class standards and resources directly to our clients. It means more than faster repairs; it means better long-term performance and fewer disruptions to operations.”
The certification process for SKF certification is rigorous, involving extensive training, on-site audits, and regular assessments to maintain compliance. SKF-certified shops must demonstrate proficiency in core areas like electric motor analysis, bearing installation, lubrication systems, and condition monitoring technologies. Renown Electric’s technicians underwent in-depth training to ensure they meet these standards, giving customers confidence in the shop’s ability to perform optimal diagnoses and repairs with a focus on long-term reliability.
One of the key advantages for customers using an SKF-certified repair shop is access to expertise that goes beyond the basics. Technicians at certified facilities like Renown Electric are trained to identify the root causes of motor failure rather than simply addressing the symptoms. This approach reduces the likelihood of recurring issues and helps extend the lifespan of repaired motors. With access to SKF’s comprehensive catalog of parts, tools, and technical support, Renown Electric’s team is equipped to deliver solutions that go beyond standard repair work, ensuring that motors are properly aligned, lubricated, and maintained for peak performance.
“Our customers are always looking for ways to improve uptime and control maintenance costs,” Collins added. “Through our certification, we can offer them solutions that are not just about getting the motor running again, but about ensuring it stays running for as long as possible. By leveraging SKF’s best practices, advanced diagnostics, and high-quality components, we’re giving businesses an edge in operational reliability.”
SKF certification is also tied to a continuous improvement philosophy, which means that Renown Electric will undergo regular audits and assessments to maintain its status. This dynamic process ensures that the shop remains up to date with evolving technologies, techniques, and SKF standards. For businesses in industries such as manufacturing, mining, utilities, and transportation—where motor reliability directly impacts productivity and profitability—this certification translates to tangible benefits. By choosing a certified shop, they can reduce unplanned downtime, improve equipment performance, and achieve a lower cost of ownership over time.
