Welshpool company Invertek Drives is celebrating a landmark after manufacturing its three millionth product.
Three years after reaching the milestone of two million products, the Welshpool based business has now announced that it has created its three millionth product.
The company makes variable frequency drives (VFDs), which play a crucial role in reducing energy consumption in various applications. By precisely controlling electric motors, they ensure they only use the power needed for the specific task, significantly reducing wasted energy.
Chief executive Adrian Ellam said: “Tackling energy waste and emissions is a global priority.
“Our VFDs provide a powerful and proven solution. Expanding their use will significantly impact environmental sustainability. We innovate relentlessly, ensuring our technology remains at the forefront of efficiency.

The milestone arrives as the company is going through a big expansion, including a new facility which Invertek hopes will boost production capacity, to a point where they could be making over one million VFDs every year.
Having broken its own record in 2023 with an annual turnover of £96.9 million in 2023, the company currently employs a 460 strong workforce.
Sales and marketing director Rhydian Welson added: “Our commitment to innovation has fuelled our success. The recent Optidrive Elevator Core launch is just one example. Customers worldwide recognise the reliability of Invertek’s drives for diverse, often demanding, uses.
“Our significant and continued investment in innovation over the past 25 years has positioned us as a leader in the development of VFD technology. We have a large and dedicated customer base who recognise the ease of use and durability of our drives in a wide range of applications, often in demanding environments.
“We’ve established a global sales and service network which supports our ongoing growth and we continue to expand.”
