About MS Industrie AG

MS Industrie AG is a German listed industrial group traded on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX), making it a niche name for investors seeking exposure to precision engineering and industrial supply chains rather than a broad diversified conglomerate. The company is headquartered in Munich, Germany, and today serves as the listed parent of a focused technology group. Its roots go back to 1991, when it was founded, and the business has since undergone a series of strategic transformations that gradually concentrated the portfolio on specialized industrial activities. A key milestone came in 2008 with the acquisition of the businesses that now form the backbone of the group, followed by the corporate rename in 2012 and later portfolio realignment steps. ([ms-industrie.de](https://www.ms-industrie.de/en/history/)) MS Industrie is now structured around two main pillars. The first is MS XTEC, which covers systems and components for heavy-duty combustion engines as well as new alternative drive solutions. This segment primarily serves the global commercial vehicle industry, alongside construction machinery, other heavy-duty applications, and stationary power generation. The second pillar is a strategic stake in ultrasonic technology through MS Ultrasonic, which includes special machines, standard machines, and ultrasonic systems and components. Together, these activities give the group a hybrid profile combining industrial OEM supply, engineering know-how, and specialized machine-building capability. ([ms-industrie.de](https://www.ms-industrie.de/en/)) Geographically, the group has an international footprint with operations in Germany, the United States, Brazil, and China. Its industrial core remains centered in Germany, especially at Trossingen-Schura in Baden-Württemberg, while the U.S. presence is anchored in Charlotte, North Carolina. The company’s 2024 annual communication indicated roughly 400 employees at group level, with production concentrated at these principal sites.

Its competitive strengths lie in engineering depth, automated manufacturing, component precision, and the ability to support demanding customers in cyclical but essential end markets. The company also highlights strong industrial certifications at its Trossingen site, which supports its standing with customers in heavy-duty mobility and industrial applications. ([ms-industrie.de](https://www.ms-industrie.de/standorte/)) Recent corporate highlights include the creation of MS XTEC LLC in Charlotte in 2024 and the sale of a majority stake in MS Ultraschall Technologie GmbH to Schunk Sonosystems GmbH, which established a strategic partnership with the Schunk Group. The 2024 annual report describes the year as a transition year, with revenue of around EUR 170 million and a softer demand backdrop in the Drive Technology business. For international investors, the investment case is therefore centered on a specialized German industrial platform with exposure to heavy-duty vehicle demand, customer capex cycles, and the longer-term shift toward alternative drive technologies.
