GROB-WERKE GmbH & Co. KG
German family-owned manufacturer founded 1926; builds machining centers, assembly lines, and production systems for humanoid robots with €1.37B revenue.
GROB-WERKE GmbH & Co. KG is a German family-owned machine tool and production systems manufacturer headquartered in Mindelheim, Bavaria, Germany (Industriestrasse 4, 87719 Mindelheim). Founded in 1926 by Ernst Grob in Munich, the company established its main production facility in Mindelheim in 1968 where it began manufacturing transfer lines. Today the company employs approximately 8,085 people worldwide and generated revenues of over €1.37 billion in fiscal year 2022/23.
GROB-WERKE operates across several core business divisions: universal machining centers, automated assembly lines, system solutions for electromobility (battery and electric motor production), additive manufacturing, and digitalization/automation services. The company designs and manufactures high-precision machining centers for structural components and joint housings, as well as fully automated assembly and production lines.
In recent years, GROB has entered the humanoid robotics production market. The company offers integrated production systems for humanoid robots — from conventional machining of structural components to complete actuator and electric motor assembly lines. Their modular production and assembly lines, combined with digital production control software, enable efficient industrialization of humanoid robot components at scale.
GROB maintains global production facilities in Bluffton (Ohio, USA), Dalian (China), São Paulo (Brazil), Pianezza (Italy), and Bangalore (India), in addition to its headquarters in Mindelheim. This international footprint allows the company to serve automotive OEMs, electric vehicle manufacturers, aerospace suppliers, and, increasingly, humanoid robot developers worldwide.
The company holds certifications including DIN EN ISO 9001 (since 1995), DIN EN ISO 14001 (since 2002), and VDA 6.4, reflecting its long-standing commitment to quality and environmental management in accordance with German automotive industry standards.
