InPro electric

What InPro electric does

InPro electric GmbH, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, is a privately held B2B provider of electrotechnical services for production automation. The company plans, constructs, simulates, commissions, and project-manages complex manufacturing lines — including hardware design, software development, control cabinet assembly, installation, robot programming (KUKA, FANUC, ABB), offline robot programming, and virtual commissioning — on behalf of global automotive OEMs and Non-Automotive industrial customers. It operates a manufacturer-independent model, choosing control and robotics platforms per project rather than being tied to a single vendor.

The company generates revenue through project-based professional services delivered on-site at customer facilities, including full-scope Generalunternehmer (GU) engagements where InPro assumes end-to-end accountability. Its primary customer segment is Automotive (body-in-white, battery production, final assembly, conveyor technology and logistics), with a growing Non-Automotive footprint across data/telecommunications, medical technology, environmental industry, and energy technology. Over 30 years the company has expanded to more than 1,000 employees across 25 locations worldwide, supported by affiliated InPro Group entities covering mechatronics (InPro engineering), software and AR/AI (Steineke), mechanical simulation (Reisdorfer engineering), and energy concepts (InPro energy).

More recently, InPro electric has begun positioning itself at the intersection of automation and applied industrial AI through a Physical AI service line targeting humanoid robotics and SCADA/MES/ERP-integrated production data, alongside an Energy Concepts offering for renewables and EV charging infrastructure. The company is privately held, is part of the InPro Group of affiliated companies, has no disclosed external funding, and operates without a public listing.
