NORD Drivesystems has committed Rs 45 mn (approx Euro 600,000) to the expansion of its Indian subsidiary. The investment was used to establish a new service area at the NORD Drivesystems Pvt Ltd facility in Pune. The factory now boasts a 13,000 m² shop floor and can turn out over 24,000 drives per year. Since 2005, the company has delivered more than 100,000 geared motors to customers across the subcontinent. Short delivery times and fast service are among the most important measures to keep regional customers satisfied. Staffed with a team of experienced, highly trained technicians, the new, expanded service area is crucial to ensure this for the future. In addition, NORD has launched an initiative for service vehicles: they serve customers on location, quickly provide qualified customer service, and are even equipped to offer training.

NORD Drivesystems develops, produces and sells drive technologies with around 3,200 employees, and is one of the international leaders in the industry. In addition to standard drives, NORD supplies application-specific concepts and solutions, even for special applications, for example with energy-saving drives or explosion-protected systems. Gross sales amounted to approx. EUR 540 mn in the 2015 business year. The company founded in 1965 now has over 36 subsidiaries worldwide. The closely meshed sales and service network ensures optimum availability for short delivery times and customer-oriented services. NORD produces a wide variety of drive units for torques from 10 to 200,000 Nm, electric motors with powers from 0.12 kW to 1,000 kW as well as the necessary power electronics in the form of frequency inverters and servo controllers. Inverter solutions are available for classical installations in the switch cabinet and for decentralised and fully integrated drive units.
