The Vulcan Electric Heating Company was established in 1904 by F. J. Holmes in Chicago, Illinois. Its industry involves the manufacturing of electric heating devices and its place of operation was in Chicago, Illinois (1904-1911), Buffalo, New York (1911-1915), New York City, New York (1915-1934), Lynn, Massachusetts (1934-1941), Danvers, Massachusetts (1941-1972), Kezar Falls, Maine (1972-1998) (a village within Porter), and Porter, Maine (1998-present).
In 1933, the firm was acquired by the Consolidated Electric Lamp Company, and was operated as a subsidiary. In October 1966, Vulcan Electric along with its parent company were purchased by the International Telephone & Telegraph Company (ITT), who subsequently established ITT-Champion, Inc. with Vulcan Electric as a division. In about 1969, the division was renamed ITT Vulcan Electric, and in 1972 operations were consolidated with ITT's Aetna Electric division in Kezar Falls, Maine. The division was purchased by a private investor, Herbert Quick of St. Petersburg, Florida, from ITT in February 1983.
