Company

Dr. Max Levy founded the Motorenwerk in 1887 for the development and production of X-ray equipment - the first specialist company of its kind in Germany. In 1914, the Berlin-based company expanded its product range to include drive technology for machine tools, generators, sewing machines and fans. After Levy died in 1932 from the consequences of his experiments with X-rays, the company was renamed a year later: Tornado electric motors - named after the successfully marketed fans.

Tornado Antriebstechnik has over 100 years of experience in innovation. Again and again we convince our customers with cost-efficient solutions at the cutting edge of technology.
