Pushing the limit
The key to 75 years of success is innovation ; here ’ s how Parvalux did it
Parvalux was founded in 1947 by Leslie J Clark in Romford , Essex . It began selling motor rewinds , but following a relocation to Bournemouth , it expanded the service to designing and manufacturing complete gear-motor units for industrial applications .
By 2008 , Parvalux was prospering , and found itself in a position to acquire its main competitor , the DC motor application specialist , EMD Drives Systems . This duo established the UK ’ s largest privately-owned manufacturer of sub-one-kilowatt electric motors and gearboxes .
