The electric motor industry in Pakistan’s fourth biggest city, Gujranwala, is undergoing a transformation thanks to a new initiative led by CLASP and SAMA^Verte. This partnership is introducing advanced manufacturing capabilities, enabling local producers to create high-efficiency industrial components for electric motors.

Driving local innovation in motor efficiency
Twenty-one local motor manufacturers have pooled financial resources to acquire a Multi-Alloy stamping machine, enabling the production of high-efficiency motors locally. This milestone heralds a new era for Gujranwala’s motor manufacturing sector, enhancing both local and global competitiveness. Motor stamping machines are critical for manufacturing motors, as they bond multiple layers of steel to form the core components efficiently and precisely.

Previously, manufacturers were reliant on used or lower-quality components, often reprocessed from imported scrap motors. Now Gujranwala has access to locally produced, high-quality components. This shift marks a new wave of innovation and self-sufficiency.

A shift to modern solutions 
The demand for high-quality components of motors has already exceeded initial expectations. Manufacturers across Gujranwala, including those who did not contribute to the launch, are now seeking Multi Alloy’s components to modernize their own production capabilities.

CLASP’s Industry Accelerator program, in collaboration with SAMA^Verte, has been instrumental in driving this shift, equipping local manufacturers with the knowledge and tools to elevate production quality and energy efficiency. This program fostered industry-wide consensus to adopt modern, efficient motor designs that will be carried forward in the next phase of the program.

Building a competitive, sustainable motor industry in Pakistan 
These advancements are laying the groundwork for a stronger, more competitive motor industry in Pakistan. Locally produced components for high-efficiency motors allow local manufacturers to capture a larger market share and reduce dependency on imported motors. For end-users, these components increase efficiency and so reduce electricity costs and offer significant carbon savings, making it both economically and environmentally beneficial.

By investing in collaborative solutions, Gujranwala’s motor manufacturers are setting a precedent for sustainable growth in Pakistan’s industrial sector. With initiatives such as the Industry Accelerator by CLASP and SAMA^Verte, cities like Gujranwala are poised to lead a future of energy efficiency and high-quality motor manufacturing in Pakistan.
