Traxial Builds a New Pilot Line at its Belgian Headquarters

Kortrijk, Belgium, August 10th, 2021 – Traxial, specialized in the development of yokeless axial flux motors, is expanding its prototyping and testing capabilities in Kortrijk. The pilot line expansion will play an important role in accelerating the development, manufacturing, and testing of high-quality prototypes of yokeless axial flux motors and power electronics.

To support future projects, Traxial is continuously investing in R&D resources and is now also expanding its prototype manufacturing capabilities in Kortrijk. With this investment, adjacent to the existing R&D offices, Traxial is bringing all critical manufacturing and testing capabilities under one roof. The construction work has already started and installation of new equipment, as well as the relocation of existing equipment, is anticipated to be completed by Q4 2021.
