UK-based motor efficiency company Energy Drive has appointed Dr Nick Moelders COO.

Based in the US, his appointment marks a significant step in the company’s global expansion and enhancement of its international leadership as it looks to grow.

Moelders will be responsible for global operations and serve as executive lead in North America, particularly to oversee the company’s technological development, engineering implementation, manufacturing, site preparation, supplier partnerships and ongoing site optimisation.

He brings to the position more than 30 years’ experience in the energy sector, including in power generation, oil and gas and clean energy solutions. Moelders has worked in operational teams at large-scale manufacturers both in the US and internationally.

He was previously COO of Equipmake and VP and GM at Clean Energy Solutions, as part of the Sensata Technologies group. Moelders also held senior positions at Inventus Power, Halliburton, Cummins and Honeywell.

Commenting on his appointment, Moelders says he maintains a deep passion for technological innovation and energy efficiency. For him, Energy Drive’s ethos aligns with this passion – providing solutions that make an impact and deliver tangible benefits to commercial clients.

“Energy Drive is well positioned to deliver for clients and grow on the global stage, supported by its record of excellence in improving operational efficiency, reducing costs and lowering emissions,” he adds.

Energy Drive group CEO James Hynd says Moelders’ proven ability to scale and lead high-performing teams will be instrumental as the company accelerates its expansion in the US and other countries.

“His appointment underscores our commitment to innovation, operational excellence and building strong partnerships in key global markets.”

Originating from South Africa, Energy Drive provides energy efficiency solutions for large motors in the mining and metals industries.
