Parvalux Electric Motors Ltd was first established in 1947 by Mr L. Clark in London, where he provided motor rewinds and repairs. The business relocated to Bournemouth on England’s sunny south coast in 1957, where it started designing and manufacturing complete geared‑motor units for industrial applications. In 2008, Parvalux acquired Essex‑based EMD Drive Systems Ltd. and relocated it to Bournemouth, nearly doubling the company’s turnover in the process.

2018 saw a new era for Parvalux when maxon, a leading manufacturer of precision electric motors, acquired the company from the Clark Group. Today we are proudly a maxon company, part of a group of companies with over 3200 colleagues worldwide, and collaborating over 42 global locations, meaning we have representation on every continent and the backing of one of the finest technical teams on the planet.
