PID Test & Engineering

What PID Test & Engineering does

PID Test & Engineering GmbH is a Germany-based engineering, testing, and validation services provider founded in 2000 and headquartered in Sand am Main (Lower Franconia). The company operates as a one-stop partner integrating engineering, testing, and test bench construction under a single roof—its so-called "PID service triangle." It serves automotive (including electromobility), defense and security, aerospace, and medical technology clients, with a particular focus on validating safety-critical powertrain and power-electronics components such as electric motors, inverters, batteries, and charging infrastructure, alongside legacy fuel-injection systems.

Core technical capabilities are centered on an in-house test facility equipped with 25 endurance test benches capable of operating between -70°C and 180°C with ATEX explosion protection, two electric motor test stands rated to 380 kW and 18,000 rpm, Power-HIL systems spanning 48V to 1,000V, high-voltage test systems from 15 kW to 200 kW (up to 1,000 V and over 400 A), and pressure testing systems rated to 3,000 bar. Alongside services, PID designs, builds, and automates customized test benches in-house, embedding real-world testing experience into each product generation. Quality is underwritten by DAkkS accreditation to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 (D-PL-21530-01-00), ISO 9001 certification, and TISAX (Participant ID PFKPFN, Scope S5656L), supporting both automotive-grade quality requirements and the information-security requirements of defense programs.

The business model is a hybrid of professional services and hardware sales. Revenue is generated through four streams: (i) engineering and development services (mechatronic and electrical systems development, rapid prototyping, test bench automation), (ii) testing and validation services (environmental, electrical, pressure, and durability testing), (iii) test bench products (custom-built hardware with PLC programming, HMI visualization, and CAD design), and (iv) advisory services (methodology and project management). Pricing is modular, individually configured per project scope, and structured as multi-year contracts; no public rate cards exist. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with dedicated business development managers driving relationship-led engagements across established OEMs/Tier 1 suppliers, scale-ups, and startups. The company is privately held by its managing directors (Rainer Mahr, Bartosz Pudlik, Karl Huber, with Bernhard Mahr as Head of Testing and Nils Burghardt as Head of Engineering & Products) and has no disclosed external investors or parent company.

Core offering

PID Test & Engineering provides testing, engineering, and customized test bench construction services for automotive, defense, aerospace, and medical technology clients. The portfolio combines environmental simulation, electrical, mechanical, and pressure testing with mechatronic systems development, rapid prototyping, and the in-house design and automation of specialized test benches. The three pillars — Testing, Engineering, and Products — are delivered as a single integrated offering (the "PID service triangle") rooted in over 25 years of mobility and electromobility expertise.

Product overview

PID Test & Engineering GmbH is a testing and engineering services provider and test bench manufacturer. The company offers a holistic portfolio structured around three core pillars: Testing services (environmental simulation, electrical tests, pressure tests), Engineering and Development services (mechatronic and electrical systems development, rapid prototyping, test bench automation), and Products (customized test benches built in-house). The close integration of these services—engineering, testing, and test bench construction from a single source—constitutes their core value proposition (the 'PID service triangle'). They operate their own testing facility where products are developed and tested, with real-world testing experiences directly incorporated into product generations. Their test bench offerings include electric motor test benches, endurance test benches, component test benches, pressure test benches, and hardware-in-the-loop (Power-HIL) systems. The company serves automotive, defense, medical technology, aerospace, and other industries, with particular expertise in electromobility components (batteries, inverters, electric motors) and conventional drive systems.
