Invertek Drives is combining rapid global growth with sustained investment in product development, manufacturing capability and customer support. Its progress is underpinned by a clear principle: advancing technology without making the experience of specifying and using drives more complicated, Invertek Drives’ 2025 performance, detailed in their latest annual report, confirms this approach is a defining feature of the Welsh manufacturer’s development. The full report can be downloaded here: www.invertekdrives.com/about During the year, Invertek generated sales revenue of £72.8m and supplied more than 300,000 drives worldwide. Exports accounted for 93% of revenue, reflecting the company’s reach through an established international distributor network and its growing position with OEMs and industrial users. The business was also recognised with a King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade, acknowledging sustained export performance and global expansion. Product development remains central to that progress. The next-generation Optidrive E4 platform was launched internationally at SPS in Germany, providing a technical foundation for broader application coverage and future development. It has been created for OEMs, machine builders and end users seeking efficient, flexible and reliable motor control, while responding to requirements for greater functionality and easier system integration. That last point is important. Invertek’s philosophy has always been to remove unnecessary complexity from drive selection, commissioning and operation. As its technology evolves, the company is seeking to retain the straightforward setup and practical usability associated with the Optidrive range. Innovation is therefore not being treated as a reason to add complexity, but as a way to deliver more capability in a form that remains accessible to engineers and operators. The same principle extends beyond the product. Invertek describes ease of doing business as a commercial priority, covering responsiveness, technical support, flexibility and clear communication. Investment is consequently being directed not only into research and development, but also into the systems, processes and relationships that help distributors and customers move from product selection to commissioning and service more efficiently. Growth is also being supported by work behind the scenes. The company has strengthened component availability through long-term supplier agreements and improved procurement planning, helping to reduce supply-chain risk for customers that require dependable product continuity. Its position within Sumitomo Heavy Industries adds governance, operational discipline and long-term industrial backing, while Invertek retains the entrepreneurial and customer-focused culture that helped establish the business. Reliability remains another essential part of the proposition. Invertek reports that its field failure rate remained within a challenging internal target during 2025, supported by controls extending from engineering and manufacturing to testing, quality management and customer support. For OEMs, this helps protect machine reputation and warranty exposure; for end users, it supports uptime and lower lifecycle costs. The company is also investing in its people, including professional development, apprenticeships, mentoring and continuous learning. This supports the technical knowledge needed to develop future drive platforms while maintaining practical application support. With industry demanding greater energy efficiency, automation and resilience, Invertek is positioning itself for further growth. Its strategy is progressive but consistent: invest in technology, people and global capability, while ensuring that both its drives and its business remain easy to use.
