Associated Rewinds
Associated Rewinds Ltd is an independent Irish specialist in the repair, rewinding, and remanufacture of AC and DC traction motors for trains, trams, and metro systems.
Associated Rewinds was founded in 1986 by Peter Geoghegan and is headquartered at Tallaght Business Park in Dublin. The company remains privately held and works exclusively on traction motor engineering.
Its factory units at the Tallaght site each specialise in a different aspect of traction motor work, from testing to in-house manufacture of coils and shafts. The company does not publish employee figures.
Services
The core offering covers overhaul and corrective maintenance of AC and DC traction motors, rewinding of stators and armatures, and manufacture of new armatures, rotors, coils, shafts, end-bells, and bearing housings. Vacuum pressure impregnation of windings is applied as standard.
The company also offers reverse engineering of motor components where original manufacturer drawings are unavailable. Unit exchange and float management programmes support operators running mixed or ageing fleets.
Market position
Associated Rewinds lists ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification on its website, alongside supplier accreditations including Achilles Link-up and TransQ. These accreditations position the company for procurement by European operators and maintainers.
The company expanded from its original Irish and UK base after 2010 to cover Western Europe, Scandinavia, and Middle Eastern markets. Its self-published reference list includes operators, maintainers, and leasing companies such as SNCF, DB, Irish Rail, Eurotunnel, Alstom, Mantena, and SJ.
As an independent workshop outside any OEM group, the company competes on extending motor life between overhauls rather than on new-build supply.
