Established in 1986, Actuator was acquired by GT in 2019. A leading European family-owned manufacturer of drive systems for outdoor power products, GT has developed a reputation for customizing products to match specific market requirements. AEM’s approach enhances competitiveness, product differentiation, and user experience.

Custom-built solutions

Actuator’s motors are widely used in Power Tools, Lawn & Garden, Electric Home Appliances, Industrial Applications, Medical Equipment and various other custom applications throughout the world. What sets Actuator apart from the competition is that we use standard motor platforms to tailor make non-standard professional solutions. By working closely with our customers and their applications, we offer the optimum solution for applications where an ‘off-the-shelf’ product is not quite perfect.

A Worldwide Presence For Greater Efficency

With manufacturing facilities strategically placed in several key areas, worldwide and with decades of design and fabrication experience, we can produce motors close to you, reducing logistics costs and delivery times. Actuator is committed to optimizing supply chains for our customers.

History of General Transmissions
