Rotomac is perhaps one of the very few companies in the world who possess the expertise in

manufacturing - new traction motors, new spare parts for 16 types and models of traction motors, thermal class 180�C/220�C insulating varnishes and materials.

repairing - over 6500 traction motors of assorted types.

plant and equipment - special purpose equipments for traction motor works, testing station for testing traction motors as per IEC 349, special purpose jigs, fixtures, tools, moulds, etc.

project work - setting up the most economical and "state of the art" traction motor manufacturing and repair works.

development activities - re-engineering of very old traction motors to upgrade HP rating (presently Rotomac is carrying out this work for ACTS, Holland, for 60 traction motors against a contract) and protective coatings for hot rolled, cold rolled steel sheets, aluminum sheets, etc (patent applied for).

At Rotomac, it is a continuous process of change, a never ending search for new ideas and product lines since its inception.
