For over three decades, DriveAxis has been engineering precision industrial automation components trusted by engineers, system integrators, and EPC contractors in mission-critical applications across 92 countries.
DriveAxis was founded in Munich in 1989 by a team of electrical engineers who recognized that industrial automation components needed to meet a higher standard of reliability and global compliance. What began as a 50-person operation producing programmable logic controllers has grown into a multinational manufacturer with 4,800+ employees, three production facilities, and distribution partnerships spanning 92 countries.
Today, our product range encompasses PLCs, variable frequency drives, servo systems, soft starters, HMI panels, and industrial control components — all designed in-house, manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified processes, and dual-certified to IEC and UL standards for global market access.
Our engineering philosophy has never changed: every component must perform reliably under real-world industrial conditions, be certified to the standards your projects require, and be backed by technical support that responds in hours, not days.
The principles that guide every product we design, every project we deliver, and every customer relationship we build.
We design to exceed rated service life — because unplanned downtime is never an option for our customers. Every product undergoes rigorous thermal cycling, vibration, and endurance testing before production release.
We engineer products to satisfy the most stringent requirement across all applicable standards simultaneously — IEC, UL, CSA, CCC — so you never have to choose between market access and performance.
We invest in understanding your process before recommending a solution. Our application engineers work from your specification — not from our product catalog — to deliver systems that solve real engineering problems.
ISO 14001 certified manufacturing has reduced our CO2 emissions per unit by 35% over the past five years. Every product carries full RoHS and REACH compliance documentation.
Our comprehensive certification portfolio enables global market access and gives specifying engineers the documentary evidence their projects require.
Whether you are an EPC contractor, system integrator, OEM, or distributor — we have partnership models designed to support your business.
