Building work starts on UK motor manufacturer’s new plant in Somerset
18 March 2026 
The UK electric motor manufacturer Electrified Motors has started to build a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bridgwater, Somerset. The company designs and manufactures high-performance PMAC (permanent magnet AC) motors for off-highway vehicles and other applications, including industrial.
The development of the 25,000ft2 (2,323m2) site represents a milestone in the company’s growth strategy and will upgrade its production capacity significantly to meet a growing market demand.
The facility, due to open in third quarter of 2026, will initially employ around 40 people. This number is expected to double to 80 over the coming four years.
“It’s fantastic to see construction progressing so well on our new Bridgwater facility,” says managing director, Jim Winchester. “The investment is aimed at supporting growing demand for electrification across off-highway, industrial and specialist vehicle applications.
“Our new site will allow us to scale our manufacturing output through advanced automated production lines, while continuing to deliver the performance and quality our customers expect.”
Electrified’s IPM (interior permanent magnet) motors span ratings from 3–12kW (7–44kW peak), with peak torque ratings of 30–140Nm. They operate from 24–96V supplies and have a top speed of 7,000 rpm. The company has also developed technologies for stator assembly and overmoulding.
