07/05/2025 Invertek Drives Ltd
Invertek Drives Ltd, a global leader in variable frequency drive (VFD) technology, has been awarded with The King's Award for Enterprise - International Trade 2025, recognising continuous growth in overseas sales.
The UK-based designer and manufacturer, part of Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ltd, has demonstrated remarkable international growth. Exports now represent 95 per cent of total sales, reinforcing its position as a leading innovator in energy efficient motor control solutions. The company has doubled in size to 420 employees since 2018 at its headquarters in Welshpool, Powys.
The award acknowledges Invertek's impressive 149% growth over a six year period - achieved despite global challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit, and electronics supply chain disruptions.
Shaun Dean, Chairman of Invertek Drives, Executive Vice President of Sumitomo Heavy Industries, and Managing Director of SHI (Europe), added: "This King's Award demonstrates how Invertek has successfully expanded its global footprint while maintaining the technical excellence and innovation that have always been its hallmarks.
“The impressive international growth is a testament to the strategic alignment between Invertek's capabilities and the increasing global demand for energy efficient solutions. As part of the Sumitomo Heavy Industries group, Invertek continues to strengthen our collective position in key markets worldwide, since its acquisition in 2019. The ability to utilise UK based talent on a global platform is a key driver of our success."
