In 1985, SALTORK was quietly founded in Düsseldorf, a major industrial city in Germany. At that time, the European manufacturing industry was experiencing a wave of technological innovation, and Düsseldorf, with its profound accumulation in the field of mechanical engineering, became a cradle for countless innovative enterprises. Starting out as a manufacturer of electric motors and fans, SALTORK quickly gained a firm foothold in the local market by virtue of its dedication to precision craftsmanship. The founding team was well aware that in the fiercely competitive industrial sector, only quality and reliability could build a moat. Therefore, from the launch of its first product, it established the core philosophy of "responding to industrial needs with technical precision".
Entering the 1990s, the global wave of industrial automation began to emerge. SALTORK captured the urgent market demand for fluid control equipment and began to gradually expand its business boundaries. In 1992, the company invested heavily in researching and developing valve position control technology. Leveraging the precision drive experience accumulated in the field of motor manufacturing, the first independently developed electric valve position controller was well-received in the industry once it was launched. This breakthrough not only transformed SALTORK from a mere component supplier into an equipment manufacturer with system integration capabilities, but also extended its business scope from the traditional machinery field to the core links of process industry.
After 2010, the global energy structure transformation and the upgrading of environmental protection demands drove SALTORK into a new stage of development. The company expanded its business focus to the energy, power and water treatment sectors, achieving a number of technological breakthroughs in fluid control systems for nuclear power and photovoltaic power plants, as well as precision metering equipment for industrial wastewater treatment. In 2015, the R&D Center at SALTORK's German headquarters and the Technical University of Munich jointly established the "Intelligent Industrial Control Joint Laboratory" to accelerate the integration of digital technology with traditional equipment. The launched IoT valve position monitoring system enables remote diagnosis and predictive maintenance, reducing the failure rate of customers' equipment by more than 30%.
As of 2025, SALTORK has established 5 major production bases and 12 regional offices worldwide, forming a global service network with Düsseldorf, Seoul, Jinan and Northamptonshire as the four major regional centers. From being an initial regional motor manufacturer to now a multinational enterprise capable of providing customized technical solutions for key industries such as oil and gas, chemical engineering, energy and power, and water treatment, SALTORK has proven through its 35-year development history that continuous technological iteration and in-depth understanding of industry needs are the core driving forces for enterprises to survive cycles and achieve global leapfrogging. Today, SALTORK's products not only operate in the low-temperature control systems of Arctic research stations but also serve large-scale refining and chemical projects near the equator, writing a global chapter in the field of industrial control with the rigorous genes of German manufacturing.

The core competitiveness of SALTORK's Technology R&D Center is rooted in its original motor technology, supported by a dual-driven team structure of "experiential accumulation + innovative breakthroughs" and an efficient operation system of "professional division of labor + collaborative tackling". This has formed a technological moat covering the entire industry chain of actuators, valves, and industrial instruments.
In terms of talent echelon development, the R&D center has built a technical team with both depth and vitality. Among the core members, senior engineers with more than 20 years of industry experience account for 40%. They have led technical breakthroughs in hundreds of industrial control projects and have a profound understanding of equipment performance requirements under extreme working conditions in industries such as oil and gas, and chemical engineering — from the low-temperature actuator sealing technology in Siberian permafrost regions to the sand-resistant valve position control systems in Middle Eastern desert oil fields. These practical experiences have been transformed into the R&D center's unique "technical solution database". At the same time, the team continues to attract young talents who have shown breakthrough creativity in cutting-edge fields such as intelligent algorithms and industrial Internet of Things. The interdisciplinary perspectives they bring (such as applying machine learning to control valve flow characteristic prediction) are driving the transformation of traditional industrial control technology towards digitalization and intelligence. This combination of "senior experts controlling technical directions + new forces breaking technical boundaries" ensures that R&D is neither divorced from the actual needs of industrial scenarios nor fails to proactively lay out technical commanding heights for the next 3-5 years.
The professional division of labor in SALTORK's R&D system further amplifies the talent advantages. The Circuit Design Department focuses on the precision development of the "control center". The team is deeply engaged in the iteration of core control algorithms (such as the optimization of actuator dynamic response based on fuzzy control theory) and the reliability design of drive modules. The Mechanical Design Department, on the other hand, concentrates on the engineering implementation of "mechanical structures". It uses finite element analysis software to conduct mechanical simulations on actuator housings, ensuring structural stability even under a high pressure of 16MPa. At the same time, it delves into materials science and has developed composite seals for highly corrosive media in the chemical industry, extending the service life of equipment beyond the industry average.
What is more noteworthy is that the two departments form an efficient linkage through a "project-based collaboration mechanism". In the early stage of new product development, the circuit design team and the mechanical design team jointly participate in concept review, putting forward optimization schemes from the perspective of compatibility between control logic and mechanical structure (for example, adjusting motor power parameters and gearbox transmission ratio simultaneously to meet the driving needs of large-diameter valves). In the prototype testing stage, the two parties jointly build a simulated working condition laboratory, verifying the stability of products in extreme environments through high-low temperature cycle tests and tens of thousands of fatigue strength tests. This mode of "simultaneous involvement of circuit and mechanical design, and joint control of performance testing" shortens the cycle from R&D to mass production of new products by 30% compared with the industry average, and controls the failure rate after launch to the minimum.
It is this R&D system of "top talents + professional division of labor + in-depth collaboration" that enables SALTORK to continuously launch products with both stability and competitiveness. Its independently developed intelligent actuators have passed rigorous verification in anti-vibration performance tests, and the modular industrial instrument series — such product innovation supported by technical strength — not only consolidates SALTORK's leading position in the traditional industrial control field but also helps it build insurmountable technical barriers in intelligent manufacturing.
