Exmore

What Exmore does

Exmore, as represented in the aggregated source data, operates the global automated wire processing business associated with the Komax Group. The company designs and manufactures semi-automatic and fully automatic wire processing machines (including the Strip Series B300 portable wire stripper and the Zeta 620 G2 compact harness manufacturing platform), testing and quality solutions, and a SMART FACTORY by KOMAX software stack comprising a Manufacturing Execution System, data preparation and process optimization tools (WIRE Flow), and digital interfaces. IQC Technology, described as a new crimping standard offering 50% higher productivity, sits alongside the EasyWiring Board with integrated testing as core technology assets.

The business serves enterprise customers across automotive (the primary vertical), aerospace, railway, industrial/control cabinet building, electromobility/high voltage, and data wire/telecommunications, addressing pain points such as quality control, operator influence on output, automation, and digitalization. Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales (equipment and original parts), recurring service agreements (CARE), on-demand professional services, and equipment financial services. Distribution is run as direct field sales through 100+ locations across 6 continents, supplemented by trade fair presence and a multibrand portfolio (Komax, Schleuniger, adaptronic, Cirris, DiIT, Hosver, WUSTEC).

The corporate parent is Komax Holding AG, a publicly traded Swiss entity headquartered in Dierikon. In 2025 the group executed a CHF 25 million cost reduction program effective from 2026, and in April 2026 announced a strategic realignment under which CEO Matijas Meyer departed. Growth-side activity includes a new Hosver site in China (June 2026), the launch of Komax Group Quality Solutions uniting Komax Testing, Cirris, and adaptronic (June 2025), and product launches featuring AI-enabled quality control. Note: the firmographics record for Exmore (Beerse, Belgium; 11-50 employees; founded 1992) is inconsistent with the enterprise-scale Komax Group profile that dominates the source data, and this conflict is flagged rather than resolved within the available evidence.
