Saluqi Motors

What Saluqi Motors does

Saluqi Motors is a privately held Dutch company founded in 2016, headquartered in 's Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, that designs and manufactures high-performance permanent magnet AC (PMAC) electric motors with fully integrated power electronics (inverters). The company's core technology combines state-of-the-art magnetic materials, high-performance semiconductors, and an innovative cooling architecture, unified by a proprietary parallelization technology that the company claims eliminates inefficiencies from component mismatches when scaling power. The commercial product line includes the D210 motor (180 kW continuous / 300 kW peak, 28 kg, 96% peak efficiency, IP68-rated) and the D300 motor (320 kW continuous / 500 kW peak, 35 kg, 97% peak efficiency), both delivered with integrated inverters to reduce system complexity for original equipment manufacturers.

The company targets three use-case segments: industrial manufacturers requiring compact, high-performance motors with integrated power electronics; electric mobility OEMs building vehicles, drones, and transportation systems where power density and weight are critical; and scale component manufacturers for power supplies, welding, HVAC, solar inverters, induction heating, and battery charging. Its go-to-market is a sales-led, consultative B2B model in which customers download a specification form from the company's website, complete it, and submit it to [email protected]; the company then reviews requirements and responds with a direct quote. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of custom-engineered motors, with a dedicated Custom Motor Service for application-specific development. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Saluqi Motors is founder-led, with Maarten Klomp as Founder & CTO and Erik van Beusekom as CEO. No external institutional investors, parent entities, or public-market listings are disclosed. The digital footprint is minimal — a company website, LinkedIn, and Facebook pages — and the company maintains an open-application hiring posture across engineering, electronics, software, manufacturing, and business development functions. No customer logos, revenue figures, funding rounds, M&A activity, or geographic expansion milestones are disclosed in the available data.
