Our Story

In the early 2000s, Sergio Arredondo saw an opportunity to help Elpron, an Italian manufacturer of electric motors, expand its reach to the US. And so, Thermolex was born.

Thermolex and Elprom grew the business in the US, building a reputation for quality products and excellent customer service.

In 2014, Elrpom was acquired by Orange1, a global leader in the production of electric motors led by Armando Donazzan. Orange1 was already a force to be reckoned with, but with the addition of Elprom, their portfolio expanded even further.

In 2017, Thermolex expanded its product offerings by including CMO Pumps. CMO is a leading European manufacturer of hydro-pneumatic and manual pumps, and its products are used in equipment found in most car repair shops globally.

In 2023, Orange1 and Thermolex partnered to establish Orange1 America.

Together, let’s continue to power the future with excellence and bring innovative European motor technology to the American market.
