U.S. subsidiary of German automation group Strama-MPS, supplying custom special-purpose machines for automotive and e-mobility since 2014.
Strama-MPS U.S., Inc. is the North American subsidiary of Strama-MPS Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG, a German special-purpose machinery group founded in 1946 in Straubing, Bavaria. The U.S. entity was established in 2014 and is headquartered in Duncan, South Carolina, serving automotive OEMs and tier suppliers across the American market with custom automation solutions.
The parent Strama-MPS Group employs approximately 1,850 people worldwide — around 1,200 in Germany, 400 in Croatia, 100 in China, and roughly 100 in North America — and generates approximately 300 million EUR in annual revenues, placing it among the larger European special machine-building firms. In the e-mobility segment specifically, the group ranks among the global top ten in battery-assembly automation.
Strama-MPS U.S. supplies and supports the complete Strama-MPS portfolio in North America, which includes: rotary transfer machines and machining centres for high-volume precision part production; body-in-white (BIW) automation and turnkey body shop systems for automotive structural assemblies; assembly and test benches for complex sub-systems; e-mobility lines for battery module and pack assembly and for stator/rotor production of electric motors; and medical-technology automation for device assembly and validation. Engineering services such as line integration, commissioning and after-sales support are delivered locally.
The Strama-MPS Group received the TISAX information-security certification in May 2021, a credential required by major automotive OEMs for their supply chain, and was awarded the Top 100 innovation seal in 2021 recognising particularly innovative German mid-sized companies. The group also received a Bosch Regional Supplier Award through its U.S. subsidiary, reflecting the quality of its North American customer relationships.
Primary end markets served in North America include traditional combustion-engine powertrain components, e-mobility (battery systems, e-motors), body-in-white structures, and railroad technology. The company's Duncan, SC facility positions it close to major automotive manufacturing clusters in the U.S. Southeast and Midwest.
The U.S. entity operates as both a sales office and an engineering support hub, with local project managers coordinating between American customers and the engineering teams in Straubing, Slavonski Brod (Croatia), and Shanghai. This proximity to customers reduces lead times for engineering changes and commissioning support compared to a purely export-only model.
Primary type & automation activities this supplier delivers:
Turnkey automated assembly line for EV battery modules and systems, including cell stacking, joining, and end-of-line testing.
High-cycle rotary transfer machining centre for precision automotive components requiring multi-step machining in a compact footprint.
