In 1928, George & Joe Picatti established Picatti Brothers, Inc. as a motor shop. Although the company has grown and diversified since then, we are still home to a motor shop.
The strength of Picatti Brothers has always been its ability to provide solutions.
Since 1928, at least one Picatti brother has held a degree in electrical engineering. This continues today with a staff of engineers of different disciplines.
Over 90 years, many things have changed, but one has not—our commitment to provide solutions. Picatti Brothers has the engineering resources, excellent staff, equipment, facilities, and experience to meet and exceed our clients’ needs.
We are proud of our reputation of exceptional quality, which we stand behind with our 24/7/365 on-call service department.
The Real Story of the Priest Rapids Turbine Generator
Hanford Irrigation Company purchased a hydroelectric turbine from Picatti Brothers, which was installed at Priest Rapids, WA and became operational in 1934. Picatti Brothers performed the final machining procedures, as well as the foundation, turbine/generator installation, start-up, and testing procedures.
