Olsen Actuators was founded in 2004 by Piers Olsen, an engineer with years of experience and success in delivering solutions for challenging electro-mechanical applications in some of the most demanding situations. His expertise has helped the organisation gain a world-class reputation within actuators, motion control technology and a profound grasp of customer needs.

Through our provision of complete solutions in highly technical sectors, Olsen Actuators have built a reputation for delivering industry-leading power electronics with truly unique capabilities. This includes pressurised cylinders for deep subsea applications, and manned-flight controls in the aerospace sector through to precise measurement and dispensing in the pharmaceutical sector.

At Olsen, we are happy to directly supply actuators and drives to your specifications but come into our own when delivering complete solutions. We are truly a global leader in the customisation and integration of complete electromechanical systems.

Piers has instilled an approach where applications are considered holistically. We assess the impact and long-term effectiveness to offer solutions that are not only appropriate for the present but also future-proof. For your peace of mind, Olsen Actuators provides assistance for our systems and products at every level, from pre-programming to commissioning and beyond.

Olsen Actuators place a considerable emphasis on efficiency, reliability and the total lifecycle of our products and systems. Our in-house application simulation and testing facilities mean you can be sure our solutions fulfil the performance and duty cycles you require. Olsen Actuators makes extensive use of lifetime software modelling technology to guarantee that our solutions always fulfil your performance and duty cycle needs, and will do so for many years to come.

Olsen operate in a very diverse range of sectors, but with common demands for efficiency, space-saving, reliability and operational excellence.
