Bringing Manufacturing Closer to Customers. IMI Bahr Electric Linear Motion Systems Now Manufactured in the U.S.

July 22, 2026

To support customers across the Americas, selected IMI Bahr electric linear motion systems are now manufactured in the United States. Bringing production closer to the market helps improve responsiveness while maintaining the engineering expertise and performance standards associated with the IMI Bahr portfolio.

Why Local Manufacturing Matters

As supply chains continue to evolve, manufacturers are placing greater value on partners that can combine proven engineering expertise with production and support that are closer to where equipment is designed, built and deployed.

Manufacturing closer to customers helps improve responsiveness throughout the project lifecycle. For machine builders, systems integrators and end users, it can mean faster access to technical expertise, improved collaboration during specification and implementation, and greater confidence when project requirements change.

By producing selected IMI Bahr electric linear motion systems in the United States, customers across the Americas benefit from manufacturing, technical knowledge and support that are closer to where their projects are delivered.

IMI Bahr Electric Linear Motion Systems for Modern Automation

IMI Bahr electric linear motion systems are used across a wide range of industries where precise, repeatable movement is essential.

From material handling and packaging machinery to electronics manufacturing and automated assembly systems, IMI Bahr electric linear motion systems help manufacturers improve productivity, positioning accuracy and process consistency.

The IMI Bahr portfolio includes the ELZ, QLZ and QSZ electric linear axes, providing options for applications that require long travel distances, compact installation footprints or higher load capacities. Depending on the application, engineers can select the most suitable electric linear axis to balance performance, load requirements and available space.

Whether the objective is increasing throughput, improving machine performance or making better use of available space, IMI Bahr electric linear motion systems play an important role in modern automation.

Proven in Real-World Applications

The value of IMI Bahr electric linear motion systems can be seen in real-world applications.

One example is an innovative packaging solution that uses IMI Bahr electric linear motion technology to automatically adjust package dimensions to better match the size of the product being shipped. By reducing unnecessary empty space within parcels, the solution helps lower material consumption, improve shipping efficiency and support sustainability goals.

IMI Bahr electric linear motion systems are also used as part of larger automation solutions designed to improve productivity, safety and operational performance.

For example, in an automotive manufacturing application, IMI Bahr technology formed part of a turnkey material handling solution developed to automate the movement of heavy components. By combining motion technology with wider system design and integration expertise, the solution helped improve both throughput and workplace safety.

Closer to Customers

Bringing manufacturing closer to customers is about more than production location. It is about improving access to expertise, strengthening collaboration and helping customers respond more effectively to changing project demands.

For customers across the Americas, access to locally manufactured IMI Bahr electric linear motion systems is supported by regional technical expertise and the proven performance of the IMI Bahr portfolio. The result is a more responsive customer experience that helps keep automation projects moving from design through to implementation.
