GROB-WERKE GmbH & Co. KG, a family-managed company, has been a significant player in industrial machine manufacturing since its founding in 1926. Headquartered in Mindelheim, Germany, GROB-WERKE has grown to include approximately 9,600 employees worldwide, consistently generating an annual output of around 2.0 billion Euro. The company excels in providing solutions for machining technology, assembly, automation, and holds a strong position in electromobility and battery production.
With nearly a century of experience, GROB-WERKE has established itself as a producer of innovative production and automation systems, offering universal machining centers, specialized machines for complex part manufacturing, and comprehensive turnkey production systems. The company’s global footprint includes several production plants and a broad network of subsidiaries and sales agents, ensuring a worldwide presence and extensive customer support.
Battery Technology
GROB-WERKE plays a critical role in the battery manufacturing industry, specializing in production and assembly systems for both battery cells and complete battery modules and packs. The company’s core technology contributions center on lithium-ion batteries, which are widely utilized in electric vehicles (EVs) and stationary energy storage applications. GROB offers advanced cell assembly lines, incorporating proprietary lamination and Z-folder technology that enhances production speed, cost-efficiency, and manufacturing precision.
Furthermore, GROB-WERKE is invested in pioneering dry electrode coating technology, developed in collaboration with Dürr. This process significantly reduces the energy-intensive drying phase found in traditional wet coating methods by directly applying dry powders onto the collector foil. This innovation leads to substantial reductions in energy consumption and required factory floor space, cutting down operating costs.
Additionally, GROB has developed high-pressure electrolyte filling technology, capable of pressures up to 30 bar, which improves dosing precision and reduces cycle times. The company provides complete turnkey factory solutions, integrating electrode preparation, cell assembly, and module/pack assembly, all supported by its GROB-NET4Industry digitalization platform for enhanced control and efficiency.
Recent Projects
GROB-WERKE recently opened a new technology and application center in Lyon, France, in July 2025. In June 2025, the company highlighted its collaboration with Dürr at the Battery Show Europe, showcasing their joint efforts in battery production innovation. Also in June 2025, GROB announced developments in stator impregnation technology, further demonstrating its commitment to advancing manufacturing processes in the e-mobility sector.
