About The Company
DRIVING THE WORLD! SEW-EURODRIVE is a world-wide leader in power transmission products and services. As one of the largest manufacturers of electric motors, gear units, gearmotors, electronics and matching automation technology, SEW-EURODRIVE has become the go-to name for drive performance and reliability. Since introducing the gearmotor in 1931, we have been bringing the best in drive technology to our customers around the globe. That commitment has led to a history of innovations — the first variable speed gearmotor, early development of electronic drives, some of the first successful efforts to decentralize control, and the first motor with energy-efficient copper rotors. Expanding to the U.S. led to the opening of our assembly center in Troy, Ohio, in 1975. Within a few short years, SEW was operating four additional regional assembly centers across the U.S. — in Bridgeport, NJ; Dallas, TX; Hayward, CA, and Lyman, SC. Today, we provide expert application assistance and products from our five regional assembly centers, more than 60 technical sales offices, and a nationwide distributor network. World-wide, SEW-EURODRIVE employs more than 18,000 people and has presence in 53 countries. In addition, we have 15 manufacturing production facilities and 79 Drive Technology Centers supporting customers with a global portfolio of power transmission products and services. This network of locations allows us to think globally but service locally.
