The EBK Group is a partner for on-demand production and development of electromechanical products. We manufacture components for almost all automotive manufacturers in Europe, are a production partner for industry and rail transport, and support start-ups in mastering the leap to industrial series production.
Production relocations often serve to sustainably reduce costs, create space and capacity for new products, and increase flexibility and adaptability to market changes. Reasons for this can include oversized or excessively expensive premises, the need for more space for new markets or machinery, or the search for locations with better economic conditions. A production relocation is therefore an effective tool for restructuring and optimizing manufacturing processes.
Following your inquiry, we will conduct a comprehensive, cross-departmental feasibility analysis. Using a detailed questionnaire, we will gather all relevant parameters and clarify the technical requirements. After the evaluation, we can provide you with a reliable commitment for your project and create a concrete relocation plan.
No, there is no rigid upper limit for the size of production facilities. We have already successfully relocated and recommissioned facilities with an area of up to 500 m². Each project is individually assessed, and our experts find the right solution for every facility size.
Yes. We take over your entire production facilities, including tools and testing equipment, and seamlessly integrate them into our sites. We ensure a smooth transition and provide complete technical support and quality assurance so you can continue working without interruption.
When relocating production, we create a detailed schedule and ensure delivery capability through a bridging production run produced jointly with your team. Simultaneously, we transfer master data, integrate suppliers, and clarify logistical details. We then dismantle, transport, and install the equipment at our site. Commissioning, calibration, and the start-up of the pilot production run are carried out in close coordination with your employees.
We guarantee that your quality standards will remain unchanged. We integrate all quality-relevant equipment or procure equivalent replacements. Furthermore, we handle all test documentation and ensure consistently high standards.
Yes. Should components be discontinued or raw materials no longer be available, we will work closely with you to develop solutions for new components or alternative materials. This ensures that the supply of spare parts for your products is secured in the long term.
The phase-out of series production refers to the final stage in the product lifecycle before a vehicle model or product is discontinued. During this phase-out, the production volume is systematically reduced along a phase-out curve until production ceases completely (EOP – End of Production). Typically, the final production volume often drops to a single-digit or low double-digit percentage of peak output – depending on the market, strategy, and the reduction of existing inventory.
Yes – that's precisely where our strength lies. We support you from the initial idea to the market-ready product. Whether manual assembly, semi-automated processes, or fully automated systems: we develop the right production processes for you, tailored to your planned production volumes and quality requirements. This is how we turn your prototype into a serial success story.
The duration depends on the product's complexity, the production volume, and material availability. Following a feasibility analysis, you will receive a transparent time and cost plan – ensuring planning security and enabling you to realistically plan your market launch.
GeoTrace® is our modular measurement chain for geothermal temperature monitoring. It measures simultaneously in multiple soil layers, can be permanently installed under pressure, and operates autonomously without separate cabling. The data is transmitted to the server in real time via SIM-IoT, visualized in the dashboard (digital "well log"), and reliably stored for 10 years – including automatic email notification to the reporting center in case of deviations. The number of sensors, chain length, and sensor spacing are freely configurable; sensor accuracy ±0.5 K, readout accuracy 0.1 K. Typical applications include monitoring geothermal probes, geothermal plants, and near-surface temperature fields.
If a company becomes insolvent but its delivery obligations remain, for example for series production or spare parts, the EBK Group takes over the production of these products. We integrate equipment, tools, and testing facilities into our production facility in Berlin. Where possible, we also take over the existing supply chain and continue to source components and materials from your previous suppliers. This way, we continue to deliver with the same high quality, your customers remain supplied, and your obligations are met.
The EBK Group can take over production. We will work with you and, if necessary, with the supplier's insolvency administrator. If possible, we will acquire the complete production facility, including tools and testing equipment. We will recreate the master data for the items in our system. For this, we will need the master data from the insolvent supplier. If components or documentation are missing, we will develop solutions through redesign or material substitution. This ensures your continued supply of standard and spare parts.
When a factory closure leaves a company lacking its own production capacity, the EBK Group takes over the production of the affected products, from individual components to complete production lines. We have already relocated and restarted facilities with an area of up to 500 m². This ensures that your ability to deliver at your usual high quality continues even after the closure.
As an on-demand production partner, the EBK Group takes over the production of products that are still needed but no longer part of your strategic core. You gain space, personnel, and capital for new markets. We ensure the quality, test documentation, and delivery capability of your existing products. This is how you achieve passive income at an industrial level.
Especially electromechanical products with decreasing or fluctuating production volumes: end-of-line products, spare parts, and small batches that become uneconomical in mass-production environments. This is precisely where the EBK Group's strength lies. We manufacture economically even with small batch sizes – for automotive, rail, and industrial customers.
Whether it's insolvency, plant closure, or restructuring: if a manufacturer can no longer produce products themselves, but delivery obligations remain, we take over the facilities, production, and responsibility. As an on-demand production partner for electromechanical products, we ensure your delivery commitments are honored, even if your own production can no longer meet them.
