Warwickshire-based Aeristech, which has created the worlds’s fast-accelerating and most power-dense electric motor, has moved into a brand-new facility in Leamington Spa to meet rising demand for its products.

The new 11,000ft² premises were officially opened by the Leamington Spa mayor Bill Gifford and County Council leader Izzi Seccombe in front of around 100 guests.

CEO Richard Wall (www.aeristech.co.uk) said: “This move marks the transformation of the company from high-tech developer to serious commercial player.

"It will allow us to explore new applications for our unique technology, while the production facility will enable us to deliver 30,000 centrifugal compressors a year — with the potential of increasing that to 200,000 units.”

Simon Reader — CEO of Mahle Powertrain, a long-term collaborative partner of Aeristech — switched on the latest motor to mark the move to the new premises.

He said: “This 20kW motor operates at speeds above 110,000rev/min and will be a game-changer in the creation of a greener environment.”
