/ We move what moves you /
Church tower technology and electric motors – from special solutions to small series.
Since 1892, we at Herforder Elektromotoren Werke have placed our customers at the center of
our daily activities. We are a family-run company now in its fourth generation
with a healthy mix of tradition and modernity.
We are proud of the quality of our motors – and of what they move. They are in daily use at, in everyday, unusual and often critical applications: Our motors
move the stage sets and curtains in the Dresden Semper Opera or in theaters in
Moscow and Athens just as reliably as they perform their duties in medical technology. They drive high-performance pumps and set the rotors of wind turbines in the right
wind. In short: Our motors move what moves you.
This is what sets us apart: individual, high quality, on time.
Our primary goal is to produce and deliver motors with the properties you define on time to. And at a reasonable price. As a German-European
manufacturer, we offer motor production with German know-how and the cost advantages of
partial production in other European countries. While the majority of production takes place at our main plant in Herford, the coils are wound at our site in Croatia. This enables us to offer high-quality motors at competitive conditions.
As a globally active electric motor manufacturer, we are able to respond to the requirements of our customers worldwide, which can vary considerably due to different circumstances. We know our way around our customers’ markets and are aware of the relevant requirements
and special features. This makes us a competent partner for the manufacturing industry.
Special solutions are our daily work.
Our team of 285 employees responds with innovative technical solutions to the
challenges that our customers face. We can do this because we all have the same goal: To provide you with the best electric motor to meet your requirements for your specific application.
In our team – a healthy mix of “old hands” and “young savages” – we ensure
comprehensive and needs-based further training. We attach great importance to an appreciative and respectful relationship with our customers and suppliers, but also pay attention to respectful cooperation within the company. This is one of the reasons why some of our long-standing team members have been with the company for more than 40 years, which is above average.
We learn from and with each other every day, make targeted investments in our locations and our
team and drive forward the technical development of our electric motors with a view to the
needs of our customers. Throughout the entire production chain, we pay attention to the economical and
efficient use of energy and raw materials – out of responsibility for people and the environment. We are also happy to develop and produce the motors you need.
