Vispiron

What Vispiron does

VISPIRON SYSTEMS GmbH is a privately held German engineering and testing services provider headquartered in Munich, founded in 2002 and operating in the power electronics and electromobility domain since 2010. The company serves automotive OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, mobility service providers, and energy / charging infrastructure companies across Germany and Europe. Its customer base is enterprise B2B, with projects sourced through direct sales (Head of Sales Leo Ladenhauf, Senior Business Development Manager Manuel Kroh), inbound website inquiries managed in HubSpot CRM, and participation in funded research consortia such as FastCharge. No public pricing exists; all engagements are project-based with custom scoping and contracting.

The company's core offering is built around five interconnected service lines anchored on proprietary Munich-based laboratory infrastructure: the Munich Battery Labs (MUNICH BATTERY LABs) for cell-level aging, performance, thermal, EIS, and coulometry testing across lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and solid-state chemistries; Smart Charging Development & Testing, which simulates bidirectional charging and grid integration use cases using MATLAB-based modeling; High-Voltage Laboratories (HV Lab / V-Lab) for power electronics and inverter testing; E/E Systems Validation from control unit to complete vehicle; and E/E Projects and Processes Acceleration, which provides engineering workflow automation. The Munich labs are equipped with Keysight (second lab, announced September 2024) and Gantner Instruments technology for high-precision data acquisition. VISPIRON also operates as overall system architect and PMO in multi-party consortium projects, exemplified by the FastCharge program delivering >450 kW ultra-fast charging prototypes.

The business model is professional services revenue from project-based engagements, supplemented by consortium PMO fees. The firm employs 251–500 people (no revenue disclosed), is led by Managing Directors Amir Roughani and Christopher Lehne, and is independently operated with no parent company, no disclosed funding rounds, and no M&A history. Its growth trajectory is anchored on capacity expansion (second battery lab), new service lines (smart charging, E/E process acceleration), and deepening ecosystem partnerships with instruments vendors and OEM consortia.
