From replacing steam or gas turbines with electric motors and drives to enabling growth by increasing efficiency, Innomotics is driving forward innovation, sustainability, and digitalization in Serbia and the Adria region.
With global expertise and local execution, the company is positioning itself as a catalyst for both industrial modernization and the green transition.
Innomotics builds on more than 150 years of experience in the development of efficient and reliable electric drive systems. How does this heritage shape your approach to innovation, quality, and building trust with clients in the Serbian and regional markets?
Our legacy of trust and engineering excellence underpins everything we do. With five specialized business areas, we offer a wide portfolio of motors, drives, integrated solutions, and both classic and digital services.
Whether it’s industrial electrification, automation, sustainability, or digitalization, Innomotics Serbia serves a broad spectrum of markets across the region, including Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and selected clients in Slovenia. Our focus is on solutions for the minerals industry, where we offer technologies that integrate all processes and data—from extraction to transportation and beneficiation, and from field operations to management.
Following the carve-out from Siemens and the establishment of your headquarters in Germany, Innomotics continues its global expansion. How do you view the role of German investments in modernizing industry and infrastructure in Serbia?
The sale of Innomotics, a globally leading provider of electric motors and large drive systems, was completed on October 1, 2024. Headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany, Innomotics had operated as an independent Siemens subsidiary since July 2023. The company is now fully independent.
This milestone marks a new chapter for us as we continue to strengthen our global leadership in drive systems. Our purpose, “Redefining reliable motion for a better tomorrow,” reflects our ambition to rethink electric drive technology through higher reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. German investments play a critical role in this journey, supporting Serbia’s transition to a more modern and efficient industrial base.
In one of your recent LinkedIn posts, you highlighted the strength of your global team of 15,000 experts. How does this international expertise contribute to local projects in Serbia and the wider region?
Our global presence enables us to respond quickly to market changes, while our 15,000 experts bring deep knowledge and best practices to every project. In Serbia and the region, this international perspective translates into smarter, faster, and more resilient solutions. We are incredibly proud of our team’s enthusiasm and unity.
