Who we are:
Founded in 1931 in Bruchsal, Germany, SEW-EURODRIVE is a global leader in industrial automation. We operate in more than 50 countries with 17 manufacturing plants, 92 assembly facilities, and over 21,000 employees worldwide. With more than 1,000 patents, SEW-EURODRIVE continues to advance technology in gearmotors, heavy industrial gearing, frequency inverters, servo drives, controls, and Industry 4.0 solutions. Despite our global presence, we remain family-owned, ensuring long-term vision, strong values, and a commitment to excellence that guides everything we do.
In the United States, SEW-EURODRIVE operates a manufacturing facility in Lyman, South Carolina, along with assembly and sales facilities in Troy, Ohio; Hayward, California; Lyman, South Carolina; DeSoto, Texas; and Bridgeport, New Jersey.
We keep the world moving, often behind the scenes. Without our drives and automation technology, many everyday systems would come to a stop. Our products power movable roof structures, modern sports stadiums, airport baggage systems, amusement park rides, and escalators in major department stores and public buildings. SEW-EURODRIVE solutions also deliver reliable performance in industries that depend on high-performance drive systems, such as cranes, pumps, and agitators, along with countless other applications.
Think global. Act local. That has been our philosophy from the beginning. SEW-EURODRIVE facilities around the world are staffed by specialists dedicated to solving customer challenges. This approach ensures that the expertise and capabilities of a global technology leader are delivered through the local knowledge and service of regional experts. Together, we keep industry moving, and that’s what makes SEW-EURODRIVE a trusted name in motion.
