Our Story
Australian Owned & Operated Company Built on Technical Excellence
Motordrives Australia Pty Ltd was established in 2008 as an Australian owned and operated business. Over more than 17 years, the company has grown to become a recognised market leader in the supply of power transmission products, serving manufacturers, machine builders, engineers, and maintenance teams across the country.
In 2012, Motordrives Australia was appointed as the official Australian distributor for the Transtecno Group, a globally recognised Italian manufacturer of modular gearmotor technology. This partnership significantly expanded the company's capability and product depth, allowing Motordrives to offer a comprehensive range of precision engineered gearmotors, worm gearboxes, helical inline gearboxes, DC motors, and BLDC systems.
Backed by a team carrying over 30 years of collective industry expertise, Motordrives Australia provides not just quality products, but the technical knowledge to support accurate system design, selection, and integration from the outset.
