What eurodrives drives does

eurodrives antriebe ag is a Swiss specialist distributor and service provider for industrial drive technology, headquartered in Inwil (Canton of Lucerne) and operating exclusively in Switzerland. The company was founded in 2005 and is privately held under the Angrisano family, with Carlo Angrisano serving as Managing Director. Its core offering spans eight product categories: gearboxes and geared motors (Motion, Industrial, Heavy-duty, Basic, and Automation lines), electric motors (asynchronous motors manufactured in China and the EU, single-phase, double-speed, special, and unbalance motors), frequency inverters and drive controllers (Inveor and Vertimo series plus IP21 cabinet solutions), industrial braking systems (disc, drum, wheel/gantry, motor-mounted brakes and monitoring systems), mechanical couplings, linear actuators (SERVOMECH and Linearmech), and ROSTA rubber suspension and damping systems.

The company sources from more than 15 international manufacturers and holds exclusive Swiss representation rights for Marelli Motori (electric motors) and KNÖDLER-GETRIEBE (drive technology). It maintains a 450+ m² high-bay warehouse with in-house logistics to support quick delivery, and operates a multilingual website in German, English, French, and Italian with 24/7 phone availability.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of drive components combined with technical services including maintenance and revisions, retrofitting, laser alignment and vibration analysis, pump service, control system construction, and brake system application engineering. The business model is sales-led B2B targeting industrial manufacturing customers across Switzerland, with the website, direct phone, email, trade fairs, and newsletters as the principal marketing channels. Pricing follows standard ex-works B2B terms with Net 30 payment; no revenue figures are disclosed and no funding rounds or external investors are documented.
