- Manz AG, a German high-tech engineering firm based in Reutlingen, historically developed and manufactured advanced production solutions for various global industries. Founded in 1987, the company specialized in automation, laser processing, wet chemistry, and inspection systems, applying these technologies across diverse sectors. Its operations once spanned several segments, including systems for solar module production, electronics manufacturing for consumer devices like displays, smartphones, and circuit boards, and comprehensive equipment for lithium-ion battery cells, modules, and systems for electromobility. Manz also offered contract manufacturing services and a suite of after-sales support, including maintenance, upgrades, and process development. However, in December 2024, Manz AG initiated insolvency proceedings at the Stuttgart District Court, with formal proceedings commencing on February 24, 2025, leading to the appointment of an insolvency administrator. As a result of these developments, significant portions of the company's assets and business units have been divested. Tesla Automation GmbH acquired assets and approximately 300 employees at the Reutlingen site in early 2025. Concurrently, the Asian business unit, encompassing operations in China, Taiwan, and India, was sold through a management buy-out. Additionally, Manz Slovakia s.r.o. was acquired by Greatech Technology Berhad in February 2025, and Manz USA Inc. was sold to ekvip automation GmbH in July 2025. The company's remaining operations are being wound down as part of the ongoing insolvency process.
