What Elcom Deutschland Gmbh does

Elcom Deutschland GmbH operates as movandis, a German industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in modular conveyor and transport systems for production and intralogistics applications. The company was formed in May 2025 through the merger of elcom (specializing in transfer systems for precise workpiece carrier positioning) and FS Solutions (specializing in continuous conveyors including slat chain, articulated belt, and roller conveyors), unifying both brands under the movandis umbrella within the hellomoov Unternehmensgruppe corporate group. Its product portfolio spans transfer systems, belt and timing belt conveyors, sorting systems (including Rollertop-Sorter), the TLM 1000 modular transfer line module, workpiece carrier systems, functional units, aluminum profile systems, and the STRETCH_MOVE-System for industrial bakeries, all built around a modular building-block architecture enabling customized, reconfigurable, and low-maintenance solutions.

The company serves eight vertical industries — automotive, electronics, FMCG, intralogistics and e-commerce, food, mechanical engineering/special machine building, pharmaceutical, and tobacco — with named reference customers including DHL, Bayer, Siemens AG, Miele, MOBA, and Drake Farrell. Specialized expertise includes ESD-protected conveyor systems for electronics manufacturing and hygienic transport solutions for pharmaceutical and food production. Headquartered in Langenfeld (Rheinland), North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, movandis operates primarily in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), reaching customers through direct field sales complemented by trade show presence at all about automation events.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven sales of custom-engineered conveyor systems under multi-year contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by application, scope, and integration complexity. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and event-driven, leveraging industry trade shows as a primary demand-generation channel alongside digital content (blog, downloadable catalogs, CAD resources). The company has been operating since 2001, with the elcom legacy contributing over 30 years of combined experience in workpiece carrier systems and safety enclosures for special machine and plant engineering.
