About us
Harnessing patented high speed electric motor design to achieve Net Zero through efficient compressor applications across the globe.
Our story
Aeristech's patented technology enables us to make the world's fastest accelerating and most power-dense permanent magnet variable speed electric motors. Our high-speed motors are ideal for compressor applications where efficiency, power density and speed of response are essential.
Our location
Our head office and testing facilities are located in Warwickshire in the heart of the UK, and we have manufacturing and business development offices in China and the USA affording us a global reach.
Our history
The founders believed they could improve the performance of turbochargers through electrification and so developed variable high-speed electric motors for a centrifugal compressor that was capable of running continuously and was 50% more powerful than equivalent electric superchargers.
The design evolved with the market to become oil-free and power-dense, ideal for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems, HVAC and Industrial Compressed Air.
