Motor-Gear

What Motor-Gear does

Motor-Gear a.s. is a Czech industrial drive systems supplier founded in 1996 and headquartered operationally in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, with its registered office in Prague-Krč. The company supplies electric motors (low-voltage, high-voltage, asynchronous, ATEX explosion-proof configurations), industrial gearboxes (worm, bevel, planetary, right-angle, parallel and flat types), transformers and complete substations, frequency converters, and supporting drive-system components such as couplings, bearings and pulleys. Its core technologies are mechanical-electrical rather than digital — its differentiation rests on certified in-house modification capabilities (including TÜV/DEKRA ATEX certification), technical diagnostics (vibration, temperature, efficiency and energy-consumption measurement), and mobile service workshops enabling 24-hour field response.

The business operates as a multi-brand authorized distributor and certified service partner. It holds Advanced and Service Partner status with Innomotics (formerly Siemens), certified service partnership with Nord, and exclusive Czech representation for Tramec, Varmec and AC Motoren. Beyond distribution, Motor-Gear runs a professional services line that covers warranty and post-warranty repairs, preventive maintenance, drive modernization, and energy optimization. The customer base is concentrated in the Czech Republic across industrial manufacturing (the primary segment) and the energy/utilities sector (transformers and substations), serving "leading industrial companies" without publicly named accounts. The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified.

The revenue model combines hardware sales (motors, gearboxes, transformers, substations) with professional services (diagnostics, repairs, maintenance, modernization) and is delivered through a sales-led go-to-market with regional sales representatives across Czech regions, direct inside-sales contacts for service and technical support, and manufacturer-provided online product configurators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year service contract cadences typical for industrial B2B equipment. The company is structured as a private Czech joint-stock company (akciová společnost), appears founder/management-owned, has 11–50 employees, and does not publicly disclose revenue. Marketing is primarily direct, supplemented by a content-marketing blog and organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube).
