Leroy-Somer, a Nidec company founded in 1919 and headquartered in Angoulême, France, specializes in electromechanical drive systems and energy-efficient motor technology. It produces AC motors, gear motors, alternators, and variable speed drives designed for sectors such as energy, marine, aerospace, and industrial automation. Leroy-Somer is known for its emphasis on system reliability, modular design, and sustainability, helping clients reduce downtime and energy costs. Operating across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa, it serves OEMs and infrastructure projects globally.
The new investments in the Nidec Leroy-Somer Foundry, launched last Thursday in the presence of the President of the Nouvelle Aquitaine Region and of local officials, tie in with the ambitious transformation and modernisation plan for the sites, presented last spring. The newly-launched project will immediately help improve competitiveness.
