Drive excellence since 1991

MICROSTEP GmbH - quality, precision, progress

Since its foundation in 1991, MICROSTEP GmbH has developed into a good address for solving individual drive problems for many areas of industry. Today, MICROSTEP GmbH's range of services includes the development, manufacture and sale of stepper motors, linear actuators, special drives and control systems.

Our company is located in Sömmerda, 25 km from the Thuringian capital Erfurt. This means that we are not only continuing the long tradition of an industrial location that is more than 200 years old, but also continuing the success story of Sömmerda stepper motors.

Our philosophy

Handshake quality at eye level, based on tried-and-tested tradition and relying on consistent further development. These are the cornerstones of our company philosophy.

We have the competence and experience to work closely with our customers to develop individual, customised solutions beyond standard motors and to provide them at short notice. High flexibility, adherence to delivery dates, product design according to customer requirements and continuous assurance of our quality standards are important factors in our company's development. This is only made possible by tried and tested partners and proven supplier relationships, but above all by long-serving and experienced employees.

Our business segments

  • Development and design of drive solutions and drive technologies.
  • Manufacture of stepper motors, linear actuators, special drives and complete drive assemblies, incl. control electronics.
  • Distribution of own-manufactured products and trade with third-party products for the meaningful expansion of the product range.

Versatile drive solutions for every challenge

Our products and drive solutions are suitable for many applications and can be individually adapted and modified according to customer requirements. That is why our customer structure is as diverse as our product range. In addition to classic industrial customers, we also serve highly specialised world market leaders with special requirements. The range extends from automatic testing machines for tobacco products to mobile air-conditioning units. What distinguishes us here is a high degree of flexibility, especially when it comes to the smallest quantities. The only limitation we know is physics. So far, we have not succeeded in overcoming this. But we are working on it.


Drive solutions at the highest level

The consistent application of the quality management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 is an essential basis for the fulfilment of our high demands on ourselves and our products. For us, quality means the fulfilment of our customers' demands for quality, product safety and reliability as well as the economic design of all operational processes. This applies not only to our production, but to all areas of our company, from development to sales and service.

In this way, we can guarantee our customers the greatest possible security for a trusting cooperation.
