TEMO Electric Motor Brand Expands into the US

French electric outboard manufacturer TEMO announced the launch of TEMO USA Inc., its U.S. subsidiary based in Portland, Maine. New logistics and sales offices will help accelerate development of the brand in North America and aid in responding to growing demand after American boaters first discovered the brand through the success of its first motor, the TEMO.450.

“Establishing the company in the United States is a key step in our business development. It should enable us to strengthen our presence in the field and rapidly gain market share in this territory, which we know has strong potential,” shares Alexandre SEUX, president of TEMO. “The electrification of pleasure boating is a growing topic in North-America, and our motors offer a simple, comfortable alternative for getting started with electric Boating.”

The TEMO.450 has won several innovation awards in the USA, including the Pittman Award in 2021 and the IBEX Award in 2023. Brand Business Development Manager Nick Steenberg sees it as perfectly suited to the American market. “Boaters who enjoy sailing cruises and inland waterways can benefit from quick installation and quiet outings on the water,” he says. “The main reason people choose the TEMO·450 is for how lightweight it is. The TEMO·450 only weighs 11 lbs, and everyone can easily install it on board.”
