Historical Movie | SEW-EURODRIVE

April 16, 2025

Behind every major success story, there is a captivating tale to tell. What started in a small workshop in Bruchsal evolved during the turbulent post-war years into a world-leading drive and automation technology company – SEW‑EURODRIVE, or SEW for short.

One family full of determination, technical ingenuity, and economic vision laid the foundations for global success. The boom years, bold decisions, and revolutionary developments made the name SEW synonymous with innovation and quality, and the company has been shaping drive and automation technology for over 90 years.

With their visionary ideas and technical excellence, the pioneers from Bruchsal quickly set new standards and are now driving the world. Part one of their blog series is all about turbulent beginnings, a boss with real guts, and momentous post-war years that first opened the door to international expansion.
