ABB buys Dynamotive: expands drives and motors service 10 June 2013

ABB is acquiring Coalville-based Dynamotive this month (June 2013) to expand its service offering in low and medium voltage drives and motors.

The privately owned company designs, commissions and upgrades drive, control and motor systems for industrial and marine applications and automotive test rigs.

"The acquisition of Dynamotive will enable ABB to expand its service operations, including upgrade and retrofit capabilities in low and medium voltage drives," states Pekka Tiitinen, head of ABB's Drives and Controls business unit.

"Furthermore, it will help ABB to increase its sales of complete industrial motion packages, which include drives, motors, controls and related services," he adds.

Dynamotive will be integrated into ABB's Drives and Controls business unit, led in the UK by Neil Ritchie (pictured above).

"Through this deal we will get better access to ABB's drive, motor and control technology, as well as access to ABB's global sales and service network," comments David Perkins, Dynamotive's managing director, who will continue to lead Dynamotive's operations under the ownership of ABB.
