What Metzner E-Mobility GmbH does

Metzner E-Mobility GmbH is a German industrial automation company founded in 2018 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metzner Maschinenbau GmbH, specializing in fully automated high-voltage (HV) cable processing and connector assembly systems for electric vehicle production. The company is headquartered in Neu-Ulm, Bayern, and operates with a team of approximately 20 engineers combining experienced machine engineering developers from the parent group with emerging technical talent.

The company's core offering is a modular automation platform system comprising five platforms (EM 100, EM 300, EM 600, EM 700, and EM 900) that span the automation spectrum from single-process stations to fully integrated production lines. These systems automate the complete HV cable harness manufacturing process chain—from cable dereeling through shield cutting, foil processing, crimping, and tape application to final connector assembly. Notable technical features include a patented cable carrier system for precise single-core cable guidance, a servo linear transfer system for high-dynamic transport between stations, integrated camera-based quality control, and standard Industry 4.0/MES connectivity for full traceability. The EM 900 platform achieves cycle times under 15 seconds for two cable ends, while the EM 600 delivers approximately 35-second cycle times with annual capacity of around 400,000 cable ends per station. The company holds more than 20 patents protecting its innovative processes.

Metzner E-Mobility serves automotive HV cable harness manufacturers and electric vehicle OEMs, with named customers including Hirschmann, Rosenberger, Tyco, and Kostal—major connector system suppliers. Revenue is generated through one-time capital equipment sales (50% payment on order, 50% within 30 days net after invoice), recurring spare parts and accessories sales, and professional services including maintenance, repair, remote diagnostics, and training. The company distributes through direct B2B enterprise field sales supplemented by a network of 30 worldwide sales representatives providing localized sales advice and service. Participation in the German ZIM federal innovation funding program supports ongoing R&D activities.

Core offering

Metzner E-Mobility GmbH designs, manufactures and sells fully and semi-automated production systems for processing high-voltage cables and assembling connectors used in electric vehicles. Its portfolio comprises five scalable automation platforms (EM 100, EM 300, EM 600, EM 700, EM 900) covering single-process stations through to complete lines from cable drum to finished HV connector assembly, plus peripheral equipment (dereeling, cutting, printing/marking, winding), spare parts, and after-sales services.

Product overview

Metzner E-Mobility GmbH offers a modular automation platform system for high-voltage cable harness processing. The portfolio consists of five main automation platforms (EM 100, EM 300, EM 600, EM 700, EM 900) that differ in degree of automation and personnel requirements, from entry-level single stations to fully automated production lines. All platforms feature modular design allowing flexible expansion and process tool interchangeability. The systems automate cable processing steps including shield cutting, stripping, crimping, tape application, and connector assembly for known connector systems (Hirschmann, KOSTAL, Tyco, Rosenberger). Peripheral equipment includes dereeling/feeding devices (DR, DRS, DHS Ranges), cutting machines (AM 2000/3000/5000), printing and marking systems, and material deposition/winding systems.
