German manufacturer of the modular montrac® rail-shuttle intralogistics system; 150+ employees; acquired by Columbus McKinnon in 2023; ISO 9001:2015 certified.
montratec GmbH is a German developer, manufacturer, and distributor of intelligent intralogistics and conveyor automation systems headquartered at Zeissstraße 1, 78083 Dauchingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The current legal entity was founded in 2017 as a spin-off that combined more than 20 years of cumulative intralogistics experience dating to the early 2000s. In April 2023, montratec was acquired by Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a U.S. material handling and lifting equipment company, giving montratec access to a global sales and distribution infrastructure.
The company employs approximately 150 people and generates annual revenues in the range of 30–35 million EUR. It maintains direct sales offices in Europe, North America, and Asia, supplemented by specialist dealer and distributor networks internationally. montratec has been recognized as a TOP 100 Innovation Seal recipient among German mid-sized companies for three consecutive years (through 2024), reflecting its sustained investment in R&D.
The company's signature product is the montrac® system — a modular, rail-guided shuttle transport system for automated intralogistics within manufacturing and assembly environments. The montrac® platform consists of aluminium monorail tracks and independently driven electric shuttles (carriers) that navigate the track layout autonomously, enabling highly flexible, energy-efficient, and space-saving material flow without the need for conventional conveyor belts or AGVs. The system supports branching, merging, lift/lower stations, and integration with production equipment and warehouse management systems.
With over 2,500 worldwide installations, montrac® is deployed across a diverse range of sectors: medical technology and life sciences (including cleanroom-rated variants), electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, automotive assembly, aerospace, and general industrial automation. The system is particularly valued in environments requiring precise, traceable part transport in controlled conditions.
montratec holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and markets the montrac® system under the Columbus McKinnon brand umbrella following the 2023 acquisition.
