ELECTRIC DRIVES Tailored drive system solutions

Electric drives and systems for all applications There are currently 25 to 30 million electrical machines in use worldwide bearing the letters “VEM”. Our journey of development began at the end of the 19th century, a time when Dresden was developing into the European capital of electrical engineering. The first series of standard motors, the first generator for pumpedstorage power plants, the world’s strongest offshore wind turbine generator in series production, the first memory motor – these are all milestones that we have passed over the decades. We were one of the first businesses in Germany...

From single components to system solutions Drive machines bearing the traditional brand name VEM keep things moving in power stations and chemical works, in the steel industry and shipbuilding, and likewise in many other industrial branches. We manufacture a comprehensive product range at the VEM locations Dresden, Wernigerode, Zwickau and Berlin, and in production facilities in Most and Piešťany – from the smallest variable-speed drive to large high-voltage systems. Compact motor series in low- and medium-voltage versions cover the output range from 0.05 kW to 42 MW. Customer-specific modifications...
