Motion control and automation platform for industrial machinery and mobile robots
Kollmorgen manufactures servo motors, drives, and automation control systems for industrial OEMs and robotics integrators. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Power BI) and sales-focused hiring suggests a shift toward direct customer engagement — four active sales roles against one engineering hire signals investment in go-to-market over product development. Pain-point data reveals operational friction: ineffective lead generation, weak lead qualification, and a new inside-sales team build, pointing to sales infrastructure gaps rather than product maturity issues.
Kollmorgen is a Regal Rexnord subsidiary headquartered in Radford, VA, with 1,001–5,000 employees. The company designs and manufactures advanced motors (including AKM servo motors), variable-frequency drives (AKD series), linear positioners, stepper motors, and gearheads for industrial automation, robotics, and vehicle guidance. They sell through a combination of direct sales, co-engineering support, and channel partners to OEMs in aerospace, medical devices, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing. The 2G Motion System line is their flagship integrated platform, offering modular control and navigation for automated guided vehicles and mobile robots. Operations span global supply and support, with active hiring in Indonesia and Italy.
Kollmorgen uses SAP and Oracle for enterprise planning, Salesforce for CRM, Power BI for analytics, and Creo for product design. Office 365 (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, SharePoint) rounds out their core suite.
