The company’s current production rate is in excess of 160,000 units per year showing an annual growth rate in production of more than 20%. Invertek exports them worldwide for use in applications including general automation, pump control, HVAC building services, elevators and marine equipment.

Invertek’s variable frequency drives are used to control the speed of AC Induction motors. As around 28% of worldwide electricity is used by industrial motors, this means demand for the drives will continue to rise.

Rhydian Welson, Invertek’s sales and marketing director, said that since the company began trading in 1998, it has worked hard to develop partnerships both in the UK and overseas. As a result, it is now selling products in more than 80 countries worldwide and offers all customers the same high level of service through its network of distributors.

To meet growing demand, Invertek is investing in a new 5,000 square metre factory, adjacent to the company’s current HQ facility in Welshpool, which will enable it to produce in excess of 400,000 drives per year. The new facility will also lead to increased capacity for our larger power drives.
