Aerotech has experienced significant double-digit compounded growth over the last decade and the company is planning for this growth trend to continue
Aerotech has enjoyed continued expansion for many years, and is one of the world's foremost designers and manufacturers of high performance servomotors, linear motors, amplifiers, motion controllers, and positioning systems.
Indeed, the company has experienced significant double-digit compounded growth over the last decade.
The company is planning for this growth trend to continue.
One reason for the company's continuing expansion has been a substantial on-going investment in research and development.
The increasing implementation of linear motor technology by industry has been a commercial area Aerotech has been able to exploit with its broad range of high performance motors, drives and controllers.
There also has been strong development in the emerging precision fibre optics industries, where Aerotech's high accuracy positioning systems - built using its own brushless linear servomotors and motion control technologies - have found rapid favour.
Due to strong market demand, the fibre optics industry increasingly needs to automate their testing, assembly, and manufacturing processes.
Aerotech's extensive expertise with high volume, high duty-cycle production machines for 24/7 operation are providing the automation solutions required by the fibre optics industry.
Aerotech is headquartered in Pittsburgh, USA, with modern manufacturing and engineering facilities.
Since 1980, Aerotech has maintained sales and service offices across Europe.
Aerotech employees number over 300 worldwide.
