Strama MPS

What Strama MPS does

Strama-MPS Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG is a German special-purpose machine builder headquartered in Straubing, Bavaria, operating as a limited partnership within the privately-held Strama Group. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures custom machines, plants, and turnkey complete solutions for the production, assembly, and testing of complex technical components. It serves international technology corporations on a B2B basis, with a customer base concentrated in the automotive and tier-1 supplier space (named references include Audi, BMW, Daimler, Porsche, VW, Bosch, Continental, ThyssenKrupp, Magna, and Siemens) as well as oil/lubricant majors (Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron) that use its gear and lubricant test rigs.

The portfolio is organized into eight solution areas: MedTech, Technology Services, E-Mobility, Automation Technology, Rotary Transfer Machines, Body-in-White Plants, Test Stands, and Build-to-Print/contract manufacturing. Core proprietary platforms include the RT E-CAM (electronic cam-controlled rotary transfer machine with cycle times under 0.25s, up to 18 stations and 64 spindles) and RT MAXX (multi-axis rotary transfer system with Hirth-tooth indexing for sub-5μm repeatability). Its test-rig line spans FZG gear test rigs (delivered to over 200 customers worldwide, some co-developed with TU Munich's FZG research center up to 22,500 rpm and 1,413 kW), hypoid and bevel gear stands, and e-motor/battery test systems. Digital offerings include the browser-based StramaAnywhere production-monitoring platform and the Strama LineDataServer gateway that bridges PLC machine controls to MES/ERP systems, alongside LaserLab, vision systems, and Industry 4.0/digital-twin services often built on Siemens Sinumerik ONE controls.

The business model is project-based custom machine building sold through direct enterprise field sales, with revenue derived from one-time capital equipment builds, professional/build-to-print manufacturing services, and worldwide 24/7 after-sales service, spare parts, and maintenance. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted per project. The company reports that 90% of its customers are repeat customers, indicating durable, relationship-driven revenue. Strama-MPS maintains a global service footprint across Germany, China, the USA, and Mexico, and owns the connection-technology subsidiary F&K Delvotec (ultrasonic wire and laser bonding).
