What Elmo Motion Control does

Elmo Motion Control is an Israel-based designer and manufacturer of high-end servo drives, multi-axis motion controllers, servo motors, integrated drive-motor solutions, and supporting power supplies for industrial automation, robotics, AGVs/AMRs, cobots, semiconductor equipment, and harsh-environment applications including aerospace and underwater systems. Its technology stack spans four industrial servo lines (Titanium, Platinum, Gold, SimplIQ) plus the ExtrIQ harsh-environment line, built on proprietary FASST power switching, GaN and SiC widebandgap semiconductors, multi-core processors, and certified functional safety (SIL3, FSoE) integrated at the drive level, with EtherCAT, CANopen, Ethernet/IP, and Modbus TCP interoperability and broad multi-encoder support. The company operates a direct enterprise field-sales model through ten offices across Israel, the United States, China, Germany, Italy, Poland, Korea, Singapore, and Japan, and has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bosch Rexroth since 2022, functioning as the group's center of excellence for high-end motion control. Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based hardware sales to OEMs and machine builders, with an installed base of more than 4.5 million drives across 2,500+ customers; software products (EASIII, Composer, Composer2) increasingly supplement the hardware-centric model.
