Innomotics alternatives

Innomotics is a young company with an old inheritance: launched in July 2023 as Siemens carved out its low- to high-voltage motors, geared motors, medium-voltage converters and motor spindles, it runs operating headquarters in Nuremberg, employs around 15,000 people, and passed to KPS Capital Partners in October 2024. Its markets span chemicals, oil and gas, utilities, automotive, marine and water treatment. The alternatives narrow the scope in useful ways. KEB Automation, family-owned and based in Barntrup, pairs drives with control systems for machine builders in robotics, packaging, material handling, plastics and medical technology, with production across Europe, North America and Asia. Kitagawa steps outside drivetrains entirely, offering gripping and workholding technology from Fuchu, Hiroshima, through subsidiaries and offices across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Kübler concentrates on what motors report back: position and motion sensors, encoders and motor feedback from Villingen-Schwenningen, sold into more than 50 countries. Lenze, family-owned in Aerzen since 1947 with more than 3,600 employees and 828 million euros of revenue in its 2023/24 financial year, assembles complete motion systems from the control system down to the drive shaft. A utility standardising heavy drives may select Innomotics, while machine builders wanting integrated motion or feedback packages will shortlist Lenze, KEB Automation or Kübler.
