About SEW-EURODRIVE

SEW-EURODRIVE is a German family-owned drive-technology company, founded in 1931 and headquartered in Bruchsal, that grew from a small electric-motor works into a global leader in drives for mechanical and plant engineering. Its modular system spans gear units, gearmotors, servo gearmotors, motors, frequency inverters and the MOVI-C automation platform, which combines drive, control and software for machine and factory automation. The same drive components move conveyor belts, filling systems and container cranes, and they are a standard building block inside automated warehouses, intralogistics systems and mobile robots such as AGVs and AMRs, where geared servo drives provide the traction and positioning motion.

The company describes itself as an owner-operated "hidden champion": it reports around 22,700 employees, over €4.2 billion in 2024 sales, and a presence in 57 countries with 18 production plants and 92 assembly plants, keeping production and support close to customers on all continents. With more than 900 engineers and around 850 researchers, it continues to develop drive technology in-house. For directory partners, SEW-EURODRIVE is a foundational component supplier — the motors, gear units and drive electronics that robot and automation builders integrate into moving machines.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
