IDM

IDM designs and manufactures permanent magnet alternators, power electronics and electric motors that meet the strictest space, environmental and performance requirements.
Our alternators are designed to be mounted directly to the crankshaft of your engine, providing one of the most compact and high efficiency solutions in the industry.

With 40,000 sqft of manufacturing and testing facilities, we combine custom development with scale manufacturing.

How we work

A vertically integrated partner

Every IDM system is designed using an industrial process in which all areas of the company work together towards a single goal: supplying the most suitable power generation or drive system for the operational requirements of the customer, delivering a comprehensive and bespoke  solution.

This industrial approach has allowed us, over the past 50 years, to develop all of the necessary skills for producing most of the strategic components internally. We purchase our materials from the world’s leading manufacturers and handle everything internally, from electronics to customisation of the mechanics, and development of the software and firmware.
