We are a global pioneer in trailblazing lamination stacks – from the initial idea to industrialization.
We believe in better solutions for electric motors, which is why we have a different way of thinking. We challenge industry with feasibility and industrialization – and we make outstanding lamination stacks!
Technologies
We work with our customers to develop solutions and feasibility studies for better electrical sheet packages. In doing so, we draw on our decades of experience in the areas of materials, processes, tools, machines and digital data.
Contacts
Depending on the requirements, different specialists from various disciplines are needed. They are the basis for an optimal result. A successful partnership is based on trust and reliability – fundamental values that we live by. Let’s be successful in the market together!
If you are an entrepreneur with a new idea for electric motors, you have come to the right place. We support you with feasibility studies, industrialization and cost budgets to help you flesh out your project. We are happy to be a strong partner at your side!
The earlier we discuss the feasibility, tolerances and functional integration of the electrical laminations in the development phase, the better. Consider the entire range of technologies and possibilities with us in order to develop the ideal laminated core for your motor. Together we will find optimum solutions in all dimensions!
With us, you have a single point of contact – from the drawing to samples to industrialization to production at your site. Our solutions and technologies open up a future in which you can bring production to you. Let’s take the path to series production together and give yourself the freedom to “make” or “buy”.
We are constantly working to push the boundaries in terms of materials, tools, processes, machines and digitalization. Our suppliers are innovative and want to challenge the industry with us. Help us to further develop our product solutions, manufacturing processes and industrialization.
New technologies need visionary ideas. SWD works together with universities and researchers as well as with specialists in the fields of electrical laminations and electric motors. We think together and holistically in terms of materials, tools, processes, machines and digital data. Let’s work in the same direction – from the laboratory to the industrialization of tomorrow!
Environment
We at SWD have been reducing CO2 for years using various measures. For example, we source all of our electricity from hydropower, from the solar panels on the buildings, and the buildings are heated by heat pumps. Electric motors drive the future and we are helping to manufacture them in a more environmentally friendly manner.

At SWD, we develop high-precision manufacturing technologies for the next generation of electrical steel lamination stacks.
Our focus goes beyond production itself; we prioritize low-loss and resource-efficient processing of electrical steel materials.
Thanks to our innovative processes, we minimise material usage while ensuring precise, energy-efficient manufacturing. The result is higher motor performance, reduced losses, and a more sustainable production process.
You can learn more about our mission here, or explore our technological vision in this blog article on the future of stator and rotor manufacturing.
Modern stator and rotor designs are becoming increasingly complex – for example, through integrated oil cooling in the stator or flux barriers in the rotor. This results in more stamping steps and longer tooling setups, which negatively impacts component precision. At the same time, thinner electrical steel materials demand ultra-precise tools.
These developments are pushing conventional manufacturing to its limits.
SWD offers a solution with the segmentation of stators and rotors: it enables compact, high-precision production lines without the need for large-scale stamping presses. This paves the way for a more efficient and future-ready approach to electrical steel processing.

The future of manufacturing doesn’t lie in ever-larger stamping presses, but in compact, scalable special-purpose machines. SWD develops fully automated systems for producing electrical steel lamination stacks for stators and rotors. These systems can be operated without specialized personnel and achieve a very high Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
This approach provides maximum flexibility in make-or-buy decisions and helps reduce investment risks. Our solutions are already in industrial use today – and many more innovative systems are currently in development.

SWD sets new standards in quality assurance: All our systems operate with a proprietary control platform, enabling the creation and permanent storage of a digital twin for every single component produced.
This digital traceability allows for precise analysis of manufacturing processes and fact-based evaluation of customer data, drawings, and tolerances. The result is a comprehensive data foundation with no room for interpretation, ensuring maximum transparency and process reliability.
Thanks to this technology, SWD doesn’t just promise achievable tolerances – we prove them with real production data. That’s a decisive advantage over conventional suppliers.
