Indus owns and operates from a 6,400 square foot facility close to downtown Winnipeg. History of Indus Automation: Indus was started in 1963 by John Rogalski, with Ted Glass and Jon Johnson as silent partners. John had a long history in the Electrical industry with Langley Electric which became Amalgamated Electric. John had apprenticed in Germany, and had a superb combination of electrical and mechanical skills. During this time he played a key role in the design of the Amalgamated Rotary handle switch from 30 Amperes to 1200 Amperes. This basic design is still manufactured today. John had gone to work for Westinghouse as the head of a assembly shop to offer control panels and custom distribution equipment to local contractors. The shop was burdened by high overheads artificially imposed by the company and therefore appeared to Westinghouse to be unprofitable, in an accounting sense.
