2E Mechatronic

What 2E Mechatronic does

2E Mechatronic GmbH & Co. KG is a German mechatronic components manufacturer founded in 2002 and headquartered in Kirchheim unter Teck, Baden-Württemberg. The company is privately held under the Narr-Gruppe (NARR Beteiligungsgesellschaft) and the Wilhelm Narr Foundation, and operates with approximately 40 employees as a mid-sized Mittelstand enterprise. It produces plastic hybrid components, three-dimensional MID (Mechatronic Integrated Devices) manufactured via Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) as an Authorized LDS Manufacturer for LPKF, and proprietary fluidic-capacitive 360° inclination sensors. Its customers operate in automotive, industrial automation, and medical technology, with Robert Bosch GmbH named as a preferred supplier.

The company's product portfolio is organized into three core lines: Kunststoff-Hybride (plastic hybrids combining stamped lead frames with injection-molded plastic bodies for high-current applications), MID-Technologie (3D-MID components in which laser-activated metallization replaces conventional PCBs, enabling compact, lightweight assemblies), and Sensorik (360° inclination sensors based on a fluidic-capacitive measuring principle). Production runs on fully automated assembly lines and includes stamping, injection molding, laser structuring, metallization, and assembly in-house. R&D is supported by research collaborations with Fraunhofer IPA, Hahn-Schickard, and NMI.

2E Mechatronic generates revenue through B2B sales of custom-designed mechatronic components and series production of sensor housings, connectors, and MID assemblies. Revenue mechanics combine NRE/project fees for custom development with hardware revenues from series production runs. The go-to-market model combines direct sales for major OEM accounts and custom projects with a worldwide distributor network covering Germany, broader Europe, and North America (including 2E SysCom in the US and Absopulse in Canada). The company holds IATF 16949, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications valid through 2027 and was awarded ÖKOPROFIT 2025 for environmental performance.
