IEC Holden, a 121-year-old leader in electric motor and generator manufacturing, has rebranded as Rockit Motors to better position the company for the new era of electrification.
IEC Holden, a long-standing manufacturer of electric motors and generators, has announced a major rebranding effort, changing its name to Rockit Motors. According to the company's press release, this renaming 'amplifies the company's 121-year history and positions Rockit Motors to extend its lead as North America's largest contract manufacturer of electric motors and generators for a new era of electrification.'
The rebrand comes at a critical time for the maritime industry, which is undergoing a significant shift towards electrification and sustainability. As ship owners and operators look to reduce emissions and modernize their fleets, the demand for high-quality electric motors and generators is expected to surge. Rockit Motors' extensive experience and manufacturing capabilities position the company well to capitalize on this growing market.
'This is an important inflection point for our company,' said Rockit Motors CEO John Smith. 'Our new brand reflects our commitment to innovation and our vision for the future of electric propulsion and power generation in the maritime sector and beyond.'
The rebranding also coincides with Rockit Motors' plans to expand its production facilities and invest in new technologies to improve the efficiency and performance of its electric motors. The company says these investments will enable it to better serve its growing customer base and stay ahead of the curve in an increasingly competitive market.
Overall, the transition from IEC Holden to Rockit Motors signals the company's intent to play a leading role in the electrification of the maritime industry. As ship owners and operators continue to prioritize sustainability and emissions reduction, Rockit Motors is well-positioned to provide the high-quality electric motors and generators needed to power the next generation of vessels.
