Global Engineering & Development
The key to our success is the concentration of over 170
dedicated personnel including many of the world's leading engineers
in Newtown, Mid Wales focused on the design of AC and DC Drives and
Servos for use in virtually every industrial manufacturing
processes.
As part of Emerson, Control Techniques benefits from a huge pool
of knowledge in all aspects of Motor, Power Electronics, Automation
and Process Control.

The Drive Centre network provides invaluable feedback to our
engineers to enable Control Techniques to maintain its lead in the
drives market. With product lifecycles becoming shorter and
technology developing rapidly, the ability to focus drive design
through a controlled environment to respond to these advances is
critical. Control Techniques will continue to invest heavily in its
purpose built Research and Development facility in Newtown to
maintain and enhance its position in the world market.
