Engineered to comply with strict international regulatory regimes. Explore our high-performance low-voltage, high-voltage, and permanent magnet asynchronous systems.
In high-risk heavy industries, the choice of a drive system is direct linked to continuous production uptime and operational safety.
Modern petrochemical complexes, deep underground mines, and volatile process plants require robust and certified explosion-proof (Ex) motor systems. As worldwide regulations around climate impact and efficiency targets tighten, the demand has moved from standard workhorse machinery towards highly integrated, low-loss, and intrinsically safe dynamic setups.
Industrial buyers require robust proof of compliance with global standards, including ATEX, IECEx, UL, and CSA. Furthermore, there is a distinct push toward high-efficiency targets, such as IE4 and IE5, which lower operational expenses (OPEX) and ease the carbon loading of major mechanical processes. Securing equipment from a reliable global exporter ensures parts consistency, regulatory certification, and technical support across borders.
Full compliance with ATEX, IECEx, CSA, Nemko, and other regional certification regimes guarantees reliable operation in Zone 1, Zone 2, and dust environments (Zone 21/22).
Configurable drive technologies supporting IE3, IE4, and permanent magnet IE5 designs translate directly to lower grid loads and minimized heat generation.

Shaanxi Nanfang Motor Technology Co., Ltd. is the authorized distributor of Wolong. Wolong Electric Drive Group Co., Ltd. was founded in 1984 and successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2002 (code SH600580). Over the past three decades, the company has grown into a premier global player in motors and industrial drive controls, operating 3 key manufacturing bases, 39 state-of-the-art factories, and 3 global research and development centers.
By integrating local distribution capabilities with global manufacturing resources, Shaanxi Nanfang Motor delivers custom-engineered hazardous area motors, synchronous systems, and industrial drives directly to end-users and engineering firms worldwide. This partnership ensures premium hardware is backed by direct factory guarantees and technical support.
Through strategic acquisitions and partnerships, Wolong has integrated some of the world's most recognized motor brands to create a unified technological platform.
Acquired in 2011, ATB (Austrian ATB Group) is one of Europe's top motor manufacturers. It includes the prestigious Morley and Laurence Scott brands, bringing high-specification and high-performance safety designs to the global petrochemical and mining sectors.
Boasting over a century of electric motor expertise, Brook Crompton joined the Wolong Group, bringing energy-efficient technologies, including the famous premium "W" and "10" series designed for harsh environments.
Established in 1882 in Germany and joining Wolong in 2011, Schorch sets high standards for high-quality heavy-duty drive systems, specializing in oil and gas, shipbuilding, power generation, and metal processing industries.
Beginning joint operations in 1999, OLI represents a global leader in vibration motors (MVE) and Ex vibration sensors, providing specialized industrial processing solutions across the globe.
Acquired in 2015, CNE (Nanyang Explosion-Proof Group Co., Ltd.) is China's largest scientific research and production base for explosion-proof motors, supporting petrochemical, military, and nuclear industries.
In 2018, GE's industrial motor business joined Wolong. As a veteran manufacturer of heavy-duty industrial electric equipment, GE provides extensive technological support to the Wolong global network.
Leveraging advanced automation, smart manufacturing, and integrated logistics to secure global production lines.
China's manufacturing transition to Industry 4.0 has changed the global distribution of explosion-proof electrical machinery. With centralized component sourcing, automated production lines, and direct access to major international shipping routes, Wolong’s production lines deliver high-specification products with optimized lead times and high reliability.
By deploying digital twins, automated VPI (Vacuum Pressure Impregnation) setups, and AI-driven quality checks, the factories ensure each motor meets tight mechanical tolerances. This vertical integration protects the supply chain against raw material fluctuations and components shortages, ensuring that global partners receive consistent production deliveries on time.
Inside our high-performance explosion-proof motors, precision manufacturing ensures safety under high mechanical stress.
Utilizes squirrel cage cast aluminum or copper bar configurations. Centrifugal casting and high-precision dynamic balancing assure reliable torque delivery and low mechanical vibration levels.
Crafted from high-grade polyester film and glass-fiber mica tape, followed by the Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) cycle to achieve high insulation resistance and thermal stability.
Engineered via digital multi-physics thermal modeling. Cast iron or heavy steel frames provide robust heat dissipation, high structural integrity, and resistance to environmental damage.
Features sound-absorbing baffles, an optimized air-guide cylinder, and an IP22 rating. Promotes high cooling performance while maintaining low acoustic output.
Tested and verified by international authorities, our product range meets the safety criteria of global markets.
WOLONG’s commitment to safety certifications has enabled its entry into major international markets. ISO 9001 Certification serves as the framework for our quality management systems, while specific electrical standards meet NEMA and IEC requirements.
Our low-voltage products carry UL and CSA marks for North American markets. For high-voltage and flameproof lines, ATEX and IECEx certificates enable integration in European hazardous areas. The addition of TestSafe certification (the largest coal equipment certification body in the Southern Hemisphere) helps open distribution paths for Chinese mining machinery in Australia and nearby markets.
Wolong's growth into a global motor supplier is built on strategic investments and integrating established engineering names.
WOLONG acquired 97.94% of Austrian ATB Group, gaining access to key European production facilities and incorporating brands like Morley (coal mining motors) and Laurence Scott (nuclear and naval applications) into its portfolio.
Adding Brook Crompton expanded the group's options for energy-efficient low/medium voltage motors. The integration of Schorch (established in Germany in 1882) strengthened our position in high-power driving systems for oil and gas projects.
In 2015, Nanyang Explosion-proof Group (CNE) joined Wolong. In 2018, the partnership with General Electric (GE) industrial motors consolidated the group's engineering resources for large-scale mining, metallurgy, and water treatment projects.
WOLONG’s motors are configured for specific roles across global infrastructure projects, municipal systems, and deep-sea environments.
Installed in refineries, pipeline pumping stations, and gas liquefaction plants where flameproof properties prevent ignition of volatile vapors.
Morley conveyor motors and traction drives power coal cutters and material handlers operating under high dust loads and damp conditions.
Laurence Scott low starting current generators and custom drives supply power aboard naval vessels, ocean transports, and offshore drilling platforms.
