Toughest shell in the shellfish line
Exico motors are back!
Krijn Verwijs is one of Europe’s foremost suppliers of shellfi sh products
including oysters, lobster and in particular fresh blue or common mussels.
In its Yerseke - Netherlands based shellfi sh production centre, rapid
drive corrosion due to the seawater-infused atmosphere has long been
a major concern. NORD aluminum geared motors with a special surface
conversion treatment now provides an economical solution to resolve this
issue.

The Exico name is returning to the
UK industrial motor and inverter
drive market with some familiar
people on-board. After a 10 years
hiatus during which the original
company was subsumed by a global
conglomerate, the successful original
format is back with an updated
range and typically great technical
support and customer service.
