On August 20, 2025, Nidec Drives, a brand under Nidec Control Techniques, announced that it would fully integrate Control Techniques Dynamic (CTD for short) into its business operations. This move marks an important step for the company in “incorporating servo drives and motor products into a unified strategic framework”.
Control Techniques Dynamics was established in South London, UK in 1962 and is a pioneering enterprise in the field of high-performance servo motor design and manufacture. With its innovative genes, the company is one of the world’s first enterprises to focus on brushless servo motor technology. For decades, Control Techniques Dynamics has been renowned in the industry for its outstanding engineering technology, providing precision motion solutions for multiple industries such as robotics, automation, aerospace, and medical equipment.
“Integrating Control Techniques Dynamics into Nidec Drives is an exciting milestone,” Randy Guzman, Vice President of Global Product Management and Marketing and Commercial Head of the project, said, “By combining Control Techniques Dynamics’ proven innovation capabilities in servo drive technology with our global layout and support network, We will bring higher value, better service and more reliable performance to our global customers.
This integration aims to realign the strategic goals of both sides, enhance collaboration, and simplify the operational processes of the two institutions. This initiative aims to re-plan the product portfolio of servo drives and motors, enhance efficiency and reduce costs by promoting closer collaboration among cross-functional teams in areas such as sales, product management, engineering, operations and supply chain.
It is expected that this integration will enable Nalco Drives to launch more attractive and competitive servo solutions, laying the foundation for its strong growth in the future. At present, both sides have launched a joint product and sales project. In the coming months, as they introduce innovative solutions for complex motion applications and expand their servo product range, more related information is expected to be released.
Previously, Nidec Drives has successfully incorporated KB Electronics under its umbrella. This integration of CTD is another significant move, which will further enhance the company’s ability to provide unified high-performance solutions for the global market.

Nidec Control Techniques is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nidec. Nidec Drives is an important brand under Nidec Control Technologies. It was established in May 2024 after the merger and brand upgrade of Control Techniques and KB Electronics. Its product range is extensive, covering various types of motor drivers, such as high-performance AC, DC, and servo drivers, etc. It can provide both independent drivers and fully integrated drive systems to precisely control the electrical energy and torque of motors, achieving efficient operation.
Anthony Pickering, the president of Nidec Motion Platform, emphasized the importance of this integration: Incorporating Control Techniques Dynamics into the Nidec drive system enables us to serve customers at an unprecedented level. By promoting this collaboration and growth, we can provide more valuable servo solutions and support – which is also an important part of our ongoing strategic initiative of “One Nidec”.
This comprehensive integration of Control Techniques Dynamics by Nidec Drives is not only a deepening and implementation of the “Integrated Nidec” strategy, but also injects new development momentum into the global servo field. With the collaborative advantages of both parties in technology, resources and market layout, Nideco Drives is expected to continue to make breakthroughs in the precision motion solutions field, creating more efficient and reliable value experiences for customers in various industries. At the same time, it will also promote the global servo technology and industrial ecosystem to move towards a more unified and innovative direction. Its future dynamics in this field deserve continuous attention from the industry.
