Maker of precision motors, actuators and motion-control systems for industrial, medical and defense equipment.
Maker of precision motors, actuators and motion-control systems for industrial, medical and defense equipment.
Designs motors and control systems to each customer's equipment, so a design win is followed by years of supply for that product, and it has grown largely by buying smaller motion-control companies. It was renamed from Allied Motion Technologies in 2023.
Moat: narrow (switching costs, process know-how). Designed into customer equipment platforms; requalifying a motion-control component is costly.
