The story

Regal acquired General Electric’s Commercial and HVACR Motors and Capacitors businesses in 2004. These acquisitions from General Electric effectively doubled Regal's size.

As part of that acquisition, Regal acquired the rights to use the GE brand through 2009. Nearing the end of that licensing period, Regal rebranded these divisions as Genteq in February 2009.

General Electric developed an Electronically Commutated Motor (also called Electronically Controlled Motor), or ECM, technology for use in residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning systems in North America in the mid-1980s. The GE ECM motor was the first ultra-high efficiency motor for home heating and air conditioning systems, providing greater home comfort and energy efficiency.

The DEC Star blower was added to the Genteq product line in 2014.

The DEC Star Fan Panel system began development in 2015, and is currently available now, in 2016 through the IBEC corporation. www.ibec-group.com.
