Originally formed in 1988 EDMR are the leading independent repairer of specialist motors and drives in Europe. Although our company only originally employed four people who were working from a small, central Northampton location, the company quickly established an outstanding reputation for quality work and a rapid turnaround. Specialists in repairing servo motors and drives, EDMR soon became one of the leading companies in its field; the firm is now the approved service agent for Kollmorgen, Pacific Scientific, NUM Servomac and Powertec equipment in Europe. Because of our recent expansion, restructuring and acquisition, these have further strengthened EDMR’s position in the market. R In fact we are now recognised in the UK as one of the most forward thinking companies in its field, EDMR is also building a considerable reputation in Europe through providing major clients such as Ford, Vauxhall, Siemens and ICI with unequalled services and technical capabilities. During the mid nineties European Drives & Motor Repairs acquired the service business of a Northampton based competitor, Contraves Industrial Products Ltd. The acquisition of the Contraves Service Division, from the parent company Cleveland Machine Controls, resulted in EDMR being immediately appointed as CMC’s sole supplier for the repair, servicing and supply of spare parts for Contraves Motor and Drives in the UK and Ireland. Following the acquisition EDMR moved its operation to the new site at Moulton Park; and in addition to retaining the premises, EDMR also kept the Contraves service and repair staff. This acquisition was one of the first steps towards EDMR’s long term objective of growth and movement into the European market. In recent years, the thorough market research amongst Original Equipment Manufacturers, who are the main source of EDMR’s business, has shown that there are no major European competitors. After securing a vast range of service contracts with clients on the Continent, EDMR is currently looking at establishing working partnerships with European industrial service providers.
