Wuxi Original Electric Motor Co Ltd, formally operating as Wuxi Original Mechanical & Electrical Co., Ltd. (OMEC), is an industrial manufacturer specialized in the design and production of high-efficiency electric motors. Established in April 2010 in Wuxi, China, the company emerged as a joint venture involving the Netherlands-based PEJA Group, a trading and industrial organization with a history dating back to 1937. This strategic European partnership shaped the company’s operational standards, allowing it to align its manufacturing processes with stringent international quality and engineering requirements from its inception.
Located in the industrial hub of Yangshan Town, the company maintains a substantial manufacturing facility equipped to produce a diverse range of low and high-voltage motors. While its portfolio covers various industrial sectors, the company has developed a dedicated specialization in the maritime and offshore industries. Unlike general-purpose manufacturers, Wuxi Original has integrated specific marine-grade engineering into its production lines, addressing the harsh environmental conditions inherent to ocean-going vessels and offshore platforms.
In the maritime sector, the company manufactures motors designed for critical shipboard applications, including main propulsion systems, thrusters, and essential auxiliary machinery such as pumps, fans, and compressors. These units are engineered to withstand humidity, salinity, and vibration, ensuring reliability during extended voyages. The company’s commitment to marine safety and compliance is evidenced by its comprehensive list of type approvals from major classification societies. Its marine products hold certifications from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Bureau Veritas (BV), China Classification Society (CCS), DNV, Lloyd’s Register (LR), RINA, and the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS). This broad regulatory compliance allows its equipment to be installed on vessels operating under virtually any flag state.
The company distributes its products globally, with a significant portion of its output exported to European markets, including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Denmark. By leveraging its research and development centers in China and Europe, Wuxi Original continuously refines its motor technologies to meet evolving energy efficiency standards, such as IE3 and IE4 classes. Through these operations, the company supports the global shipping industry’s transition toward more reliable and energy-efficient electromechanical power systems.
