Since 2007 Research and Production Company “ERGA” has been developing, manufacturing and providing service of high-speed permanent magnet synchronous electric machines and power electronics, as well as repairing high-speed machines of foreign manufacture.
Research and Production Company "ERGA" traces its history back to 1991, when Mr. Kotunov focused on production of rare-earth permanent magnets and magnetic systems for special purposes.
Nowadays the plant occupies over 25 m2, over 10 m2 of which are indoor production facilities. In 2007 large-scale re-equipment of production sites was completed, a modern high-capacity line for rare-earth permanent magnet production was commissioned.
In 2018 a new workshop and a 3-storey building of the design bureau and electronics department were opened. In 2019 WELMA project was registered as a separate legal entity: WELMA LLC.
