REMA EV

What REMA EV does

REMA EV Connections GmbH is a German private limited company (GmbH) headquartered in Rheinbach, Germany, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of REMA GROUP, a diversified industrial conglomerate. Founded in 2019 to transfer REMA Group's battery charging expertise from material handling (dating to 2012) into the electric mobility market, the company develops and manufactures high-performance charging connector systems for electric vehicles, including CCS (Combined Charging System) Type 1 and Type 2 connectors and inlets, GBT connectors for the Chinese market, and MCS (Megawatt Charging System) inlets for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The product portfolio spans outputs from 24.5kW AC charging up to over 1000kW DC, including the 2025-released 400A Passive-Cooled and 600A Liquid-Cooled CCS-1 connectors. Core technical differentiation rests on proprietary silver-plated copper contact technology with high mating cycle durability, customized cable designs, and integrated liquid-cooling architectures.

The company operates a direct B2B enterprise sales model, positioning itself as both a development partner and global supplier to automotive OEMs, charging station OEMs, and charge point operators. Named enterprise customers include Siemens and ABB (for charging station integrations) and MAN and Daimler Truck (for commercial vehicle MCS prototypes and connectors). Manufacturing is consolidated at a Rheinbach production facility completed at end of 2023, with BABA/NEVI-compliant production in Fountain Inn, South Carolina (USA), and REMA Group presence in China supporting global market reach. The company holds IATF 16949:2016, ISO 14001:2015, UL 2251, RoHS, and REACH certifications, along with compliance to IEC 62196, SAE J1772, IEC TS 63379, and SAE J3271 standards. Pricing is quote-based for B2B customers; no public pricing exists. The company is managed by General Manager Tim Rose and Managing Director Bettina Glück.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company is small (11-50 employees per firmographic data) but operates as a focused component supplier within a larger industrial group, leveraging REMA GROUP's diversified resources across Germany, the USA, and China for global execution.
