Harris Electric, Inc. is a Seattle-based provider serving the maritime transportation sector with electrical systems for boats and large vessels, and with related industrial design services. The company traces its origins to 1928, when Jack Harris began wiring residential and small commercial structures, and it soon expanded into marine wiring after the addition of Arvid Ohman. In the late 1930s, Vic Sundholm joined the firm and industrial design and large-vessel wiring emerged as part of its maritime offerings. In 1959, Vic Sundholm purchased the company, and leadership remained in the Sundholm family for subsequent generations. Today the business continues as a family-influenced operation focused on wiring boats and large vessels and providing related industrial design services to maritime clients from its Seattle base, maintaining a regional footprint as a small to midsize firm.
