Exico Electric Motors changes names as part of European group

Lammers is a very well-established electric motor brand in Germany and has high brand recognition across continental Europe. Exico is well known in the UK; the name re-emerged in 2014 after a period of non-use when Sales Director Lucie Hodkova and Managing Director Jerry Hodek announced ambitious plans to re-establish a presence in the UK market and create a major new force in the motor supply market.

Lammers has maintained its headquarters in the town of Rheine in Westphalia since its founding in 1946, where it now employs around 175 people. As well as supplying motors and drive systems, the company has pioneered methods for ensuring efficiency in the maintenance and repair of large electric motors. It has also established a subsidiary that focuses on control and automation technologies and built up a major operations base in Budapest, Hungary.

To date Exico has supplied three-phase industrial and marine motors, single-phase motors, ATEX explosion-proof motors, medium and high-voltage motors, coolant pumps for machine tools, frequency inverters, worm-drive gearboxes and a wide range of accessories, mainly to UK customers. It is active in many sectors of the economy and has built up a nationwide network of distributors and technical partners.

Jerry Hodek says: "The expertise we have at hand is virtually all-encompassing. Our extended motor range is vast in terms of powers, sizes and formats; standard and special designs and a wide range of inverters, gearboxes and other accessories. We hold certifications in many fields, including ATEX and marine motors and we have experience and expertise in virtually all fields of motor application."

Now, as Lammers Exico, its services are backed up by research and development engineers as well as sector specialists and it has direct access to a stockholding of over 80,000 motors, test beds, systems builders and rewinders. The company is also able to provide systems building, testing, repair and maintenance services.

Hodek again: "Since 2014 we have proven what can be achieved by determined, hardworking people backed by top quality products. I can therefore confidently say that Lammers Exico will quickly prove to be synonymous with quality and excellent customer service as well as first class European manufactured electric motors. The UK based stock is backed up by extensive stocks held in Europe and we have direct access to world class engineers."
