About Ottronic E-Systems
Ottronic Regeltechnik GmbH, based in Fohnsdorf (Styria, Austria), develops and manufactures mechatronic systems as a full-solution provider – from analysis and prototyping through to series production. The service portfolio comprises customer-specific special electronics with SMD and THT manufacturing, miniaturized brushless DC high-performance drives (high-speed up to 200,000 rpm, slotless design) as well as polymer technology with a patented potting and encapsulation process. Manufacturing ranges from motor lamination and coil production via stator winding and laser welding of the lamination stack to device and system assembly including EMC testing and active thermography. Ottronic products are used, among other things, in surgical power tools, high-performance pumps for drones, industrial sensor technology and control electronics. Founded in 1988, the company employs around 30 staff and installs more than two million components annually.
