Its systems are renowned for their energy efficiency and automation as well as digitalization. In order to meet the complex requirements of customers, it is important to have a competent, reliable and globally active partner with a comprehensive portfolio of innovative products and services.

INDUSTRIAL GEAR UNIT SOLUTIONS FROM A SINGLE SOURCE
With SEW-EURODRIVE, customers get more than just products. Companies are trending toward tailored drive packages and system solutions. SEW-EURODRIVE has the application knowledge needed, and offers significant process and logistics. When systems manufacturers in heavy industries such as construction, mining or cement production talk about industrial gear units, they rarely talk about individual components. In most instances, customers are looking for custom solutions with which they can quickly and reliably equip their systems and dependably get them up and running. This is why SEW-EURODRIVE considers itself to be a problem solver for all things drive technology — and has done so for more than 90 years. SEW-EURODRIVE’s customers benefit greatly from the fact that it can provide a fully comprehensive drive technology portfolio from a single source. It relies not only on its own universal expertise in mechanical, electrical and electronic drive technology for its solutions. It also offers the necessary expertise in control technology, engineering tools and system software on the one hand, and machine safety and energy efficiency on the other. As a skilled and reliable partner, it is always by the side of its customers — from initial planning and configuring to starting up and maintaining the industrial gear unit solution in the customer’s system. It offers:
v compact drive packages and tailored, complete industrial gear unit systems; v technically adept consulting from application specialists with years of experience; v order-specific drive system engineering including integration into the customer’s system; v quick availability of in-stock components near you thanks to its global production network; and v experienced service worldwide for quick availability and skilled assistance on site.
WORLDWIDE NETWORK When customers in heavy industry need industrial gear units, projects can be assembled to order (ATO). Orders without a design stage is one of the unique selling points from SEW-EURODRIVE, since the drives can have delivery times starting from one working day. Depending on the complexity of the application, projects are engineer to order (ETO) and the design will be adapted according to the requirement of the customer. The delivery times starts then with 15 working days. This is why, for SEW-EURODRIVE, problem solving begins with the sale. Since these kinds of projects are often of an international nature, the company’s technically adept consultants, with years of industry experience, provide local application support on site — even in other countries.
