dear colleagues, Dear Business Partners and Friends of GROB,

dear colleagues,

Wolfram Weber, German Wankmiller, Jochen Nahl

Once again, 2015 was a highly success-

ful yet challenging year, for our com-

pany. With your support we will sur-

pass the one billion euro mark in sales

for the second year in a row. However,

it is far more difficult to maintain our

high level of performance than it was to

reach our current level of success. This

is, for the most part due to unfavorable

prospects of the German machine man-

ufacturing industry itself over recent

months.

Currently the GROB Group order

book shows a promising record with

numerous secured orders. Further-

more, the order backlog extends at

least twelve months. This is due to

both our award-winning and highly

competitive products as well as our

extensive global investment activi-

ties in machinery and buildings. In

Mindelheim alone we have invested

more than 150 million euros over the

last three years. We have likewise

lived up to our responsibilities with

social projects at our headquarters

in Mindelheim, providing substantial

and forward-looking financial support

to the technical school, as well as sig-

nificantly subsidizing the child day-

care center. Extensive investments in

hiring young employees, apprentices

and highly qualified workers consti-

tute another important milestone in

our company’s future strategy.

All these investments were under-

taken to not only ensure our com-

pany’s competitiveness but also to

successfully meet future challenges.

This fine tradition of our family com-

pany has continued for almost ninety

years. And in order to maintain this

tradition, GROB-WERKE will likewise

remain one hundred percent fam-

ily-owned in the future. Only in this

way can the company continue to

invest in its own strengths, and rely

on its own energy and resources to

ensure future growth. Please continue

to support us with your wholehearted

dedication and full commitment in

the future to successfully pursue our

chosen path. We would like to thank

you for the dedication and loyalty you

have so clearly demonstrated to the

company over the past year.

We wish all of our employees, business

partners and friends of the GROB Com-

pany Merry Christmas and a successful

start to 2016.

The Grob family

Once again a highly successful year

draws to an end for our company. A

year in which with your support we have

been able to achieve substantial accom-

plishments and meet almost all our

goals. Indeed, global growth and market

conditions have changed dramatically,

yet nonetheless, our company has been

extraordinarily successful in garnering

new customers and work pieces. GROB

has continuously increased its market

share in new segments. This is a success

that perfectly proves that we are pursu-

ing the right path together, a success we

can be proud of, and which is based on

several pillars.

• Our products and technologies enjoy

an undeniable market acceptance,

a success that is even more remark-

able considering that the entire GROB

product spectrum originates from our

own development department, includ-

ing innovative machines such as the

new G350 – Generation 2 universal

machines, the G800, the innovative

G300 and G320 system machines or

the novel telescoping gantry. Additional

detailed information can be found in the

technical section of this edition.

• In order to materialize all these inno-

vations, we have implemented highly

dynamic investment programs in our

businesses and production facilities in

Germany, Brazil, China and the USA.

These extensive investments will guaran-

tee the security of our company, and are

only possible because the GROB family

immediately reinvests all profits into the

company.

• For some time we have paved the way

for upcoming changes to automotive

powertrains. We are therefore currently

putting together an additional new

development group that will exclusively

concentrate on this area.

A further significant component of our

tremendous growth in recent years was

the concurrent expansion of our global

sales and service network. Thus at the

start of 2016, we will be represented

with sales offices not only in the “Motor

City” Detroit, but also in California. This

past October, in conjunction with GROB

Italia, a new GROB sales and service sub-

sidiary was established in Italy, by the

end of the year we shall also open our

tenth base, GROB Poland. In addition to

the expansion of our sales and service

network, we have also put a new matrix

sales organization in place, in order to

further boost our company’s growth

through sales activities.

In a nutshell, with your great support

we have once again managed not only

to flow with the market, but also to

establish market trends, that allow us

to actively and sustainably secure and

expand our corporate growth.

Thank you very much for your untiring

commitment and dedication and suc-

cessful cooperation in 2015.

We would like to wish all employees

a Merry Christmas and a peaceful and

prosperous start into 2016.

groB’s year in reTrospecTGROB’s world as seen from the outside

Just as years before, 2015 will also enter

the GROB annals as an extremely success-

ful year, a year characterized by impres-

sive and convincing innovations, high cus-

tomer approval and continuation of the

investment program at all GROB facili-

ties in Mindelheim, São Paulo, Bluffton

and Dalian. But it was also a year in which

GROB invested not only in new buildings

and machinery, but much more followed

its long-time tradition, by subsidizing the

training of its skilled workers of tomor-

row. Furthermore, GROB hired 111 new

trainees this year, dispersed over all 4 pro-

duction sites – a new record. In addition to

this cornerstone development GROB also

formally opened a new high-tech train-

ing center in Mindelheim this past sum-

mer. It is reasonably considered the most

advanced and modern facility of its kind.

groB TechnologyTechnology highlights and product innovations of 2015

The G800 represents the latest devel-

opment of an entirely new machine

concept, offering both universal and

system machine customers the ideal

pallet size for large components. The

800 mm pallet lends itself perfectly

to machine engine components for

trucks, commercial vehicles, construc-

tion machinery and tractors. Further-

more, the G800 also constitutes the

perfect machine concept for general

mechanical engineering, the aviation

industry, mold-making and power engi-

neering. The 4-axis modular system,

also available with 5 or 6-axis options,

allows us to customize the machine to

our customers’ individual requirements.

Its advantages are obvious: The stan-

dard version offers an above-average

work area, ideal chip-to-chip times,

highest rigidity values, excellent swarf

drop (also suitable for dry machining)

and the ability to utilize extra-long tools

of up to 850 mm.

The newly-developed rotary pallet

storage system (PSS-R) for small and

medium-size palletizations even further

expands the already extensive univer-

sal machine portfolio. Besides a high

degree of practicability and functional-

ity the GROB PPS-R also allows highly

flexible installation due to a very com-

pact design. This system is available

in three standard sizes for the G550 –

Generation 1 universal machine. In its

smallest version (PSS-R5) it offers five

pallet storage slots on one level. The

PSS-R10 provides 10 slots on two levels,

and the PSS-R13 model boasts thirteen

pallet storage slots on three levels. If

one takes the pallet at the setup station

into account, the number of available

pallets increases to a maximum of four-

teen. The system itself is extremely easy

to integrate, and can thereby be retro-

fitted to any existing and already com-

missioned machines. A rotary move-

ment allows simultaneous loading and

unloading, eventually achieving short

change times.

G800 heavy machining center

GROB rotary pallet storage system

In 2015, we were able to present an

entire spectrum of new technological

highlights and unprecedented prod-

uct innovations to our customers.

These occurred not only in the sys-

tem and universal machine business,

but also in the area of software tech-

nology. GROB development engineers

once again did deliver on their prom-

ise to bring immaculate products and

increasingly sophisticated technolo-

gies to the market.

One could almost say that it became a

tradition for GROB to present an addi-

tional milestone in the area of univer-

sal machines every two years. The 2007

market launch of the G350 was followed

by the introduction of the G550 in 2009.

At the 2011 EMO, the milling and turning

technology of the G550 T made its debut.

2013 saw the new G750, and this year

the G350 – Generation 2 was introduced.

The new G350 basically distinguishes

itself by significantly improved dynam-

ics, reduced idle and chip-to-chip times,

a new machine design and expanded

tool magazine capacity from its prede-

cessor. Due to a repositioning of the tool

magazine, we were able to reduce the

machine width from 2,450 mm to 2,000

mm, thus achieving a significantly smaller

machine footprint. Furthermore, the tool

capacity now comprises 60 slots, and can

easily be updated to 120 slots with the

double disk machine. Thanks to the new-

ly-developed double disk magazine, tool

length could also be expanded by 33 per-

cent to 550 mm.

The GROB software technology has

also seen two newly-developed mod-

ules – GROB4Coach and GROB4Simulate.

GROB4Coach is basically a simple,

user-oriented software package contain-

ing programming, simulation and training

software programs with various function-

alities. It enables the machining program

of the machine to be run on a PC and

visualized three-dimensionally. The soft-

ware in addition offers a programming

environment with integrated online help.

GROB4Simulate is a powerful simula-

tion system, supporting comprehensive

collision monitoring, while also taking

into account all components such as tool

clamping devices, work pieces and other

machine components. Key features are

the color-coded display of component

damage or remaining material as well as

the possibility of exact time determination

with respect to machine dynamics.

GROB-NET4Industry

Concomitant with the invention of the

second generation of the G350 univer-

sal machine, and the advances of the

GROB-NET4Industry, we also developed a

completely new control panel (HMI) for

our universal machines. The new control

panel with touch screen, 3D-Mouse and

extensive software applications is called

GROB-Pilot4M. It is now possible to apply

numerous new and GROB-specific appli-

cations by using this new control panel

and software. All GROB-NET4Industry

applications can be used with the new

control panel. The most important inno-

vations include:

• Touch screen operation

• Optional second monitor

• 3D-Mouse for navigating

in 3D drawings

• Real-time simulation of NC programs

• All GROB-NET4Industry applications

This new HMI successfully rounds out the

form factor of our G350 G-module, by

a very promising and appealing design.

The GROB-Pilot4M will be firstly avail-

able in 2016 with the Siemens control

unit. Heidenhain and Fanuc controls will

follow up later.

GROB-Pilot4M

Latest machine technology6th G-module development stageIn order to achieve even greater man-

ufacturing system efficiency, not only

the universal machine series but also

the system machine range (G300/

G320) underwent extensive redevel-

opment. Their tool magazine capac-

ity was further expanded, idle and

chip-to-chip times were fundamen-

tally reduced while machine dynamics

were improved. In addition to the new

machines, a telescopic gantry for the

system business was also developed.

It offers a more compact and dynamic

design, which ideally fits into the lay-

out of the G-module structure. Paral-

lel to the universal machines, the sys-

tem machines as well were redesigned

and equipped with a more practice-

oriented and visually attractive machine

paneling.

groB producTion Production processes at the highest level

Two million euros for a new

heat-treating shop

The initial demolition work behind hall

1 for a new building, which is to house

among others the new hardening shop,

got under way last year. This building

had been completed on the same site

just eight months later. These facilities,

which were over thirty years old, were

not only technically obsolete, but also fell

completely short of any modern and eco-

logical standards. Consequently, a new

heat-treating center has been set up which

now boasts state of the art technology in

every respect. We can now offer proce-

dures such as plasma nitriding, vacuum

annealing, case hardening, deep-freez-

ing and burnishing ourselves by capital-

izing on the very latest techniques. The

Quality Testing section, which is located in

this hall too, has also been brought up to

the latest standards. GROB invested more

than two million euros into construction

and renovation measures. However, it

seems safe to say that these costs will be

recovered within a very short amount of

time through fundamental savings in pro-

duction throughput times, considerable

reductions in administrative workload and

a high level of automation.

While the primary focus of production

investments in recent years has been

on the construction or conversion of

new halls, attention has now shifted

to the detail. In addition to smaller hall

expansions and new buildings, manu-

facturers are now seeking to enhance

production processes and to invest in

state-of-the-art production systems.

Expansion of the Pre-assembly unit

in hall 6

The extension being built between halls

6 and 1 was completed in mid-August

this year, thus increasing the produc-

tion area in hall 6 by over 1000 m². This

extension created urgently required space

to assemble the fluid cabinet within the

production-based workflow, to integrate

the outsourced area for clamping devices

into hall 6 and to further improve gen-

eral procedures. Merging the pre-assem-

bly of the bridge for one or two-spindle

machining centers to the center of hall 6

and in close proximity to Machine Assem-

bly allows GROB to both promptly imple-

ment technical adjustments, and deploy

Pre-assembly staff very flexibly. As Peter

Haider, Director of Pre-assembly of System

Machines states - „Our main objective

was to closely interlink Pre-assembly with

Machine Assembly in hall 8 to achieve

shorter response times. “We have now

more than succeeded in doing so through

these conversion measures.“

Robot welding in sheet

metal production

In December of 2015, a

new robotic welding cell

will also go into opera-

tion in the GROB Sheet

Metal Production Depart-

ment. The system consists

of two machining stations with

large reversing units. The robot is

securely suspended from a linear axis

and approaches both stations alternately.

This concept allows the operator to pre-

pare the other station while the robot is

matching the component. Following con-

struction and startup, the welding robot

which is designed and supplied by KUKA

Systems, is intended to primarily manufac-

ture series and recurring components. In

addition, high-precision functional compo-

nents will also be welded on

the new system. Steffen Setz,

Director of the Sheet Metal Produc-

tion Department, refers to it as „an ideal

addition to our highly automated fleet of

machinery in sheet metal production.“

The Sheet Metal Production Department

expects this to deliver very consistent qual-

ity, which will ultimately translate into lower

expenditures in the assembly processes.

Automated production system in

large part production

A fourth machining center for the machin-

ing of aluminum components was

installed in hall 5 in the fall of this

year in addition to the exist-

ing G550 production system.

GROB furthermore increased

the PROMOT pallet store

from 90 spaces to 174 - an

expansion that was urgently

required. As Roland Blum, Head of

the Production Business Unit at GROB,

explains, „the system could not be used

all weekend due to the enormous produc-

tivity because all the pallets supplied were

processed on Sunday at the latest. With

the expansion of this system, we expect

to see another marked improvement in

its productivity.“ GROB has also

repeatedly and successfully capital-

ized on this trusted system when it comes

to machining larger components. The new

G750 production system, which is designed

with 36 pallet spaces and currently one

machining center, was also commissioned

in time for our Open House trade fair.

groB Buildings and groundsArchitects of the GROB world

Whether at the GROB plant in Mindel-

heim, São Paulo, Bluffton or Dalian –

the Mindelheim Architecture Depart-

ment team has left its unique and

lingering signature around the world.

Together they are responsible for

the implementation of the enormous

investment actions most notably in

new production facilities that gave

rise to the current GROB world. These

investments took particularly place

over the last decade.

The “Building and Grounds” department

encompasses 8 employees. Besides one

architect they are all highly skilled archi-

tectural draftsmen and civil engineers.

Located at the parent plant in Mindelheim

they are accountable for the implementa-

tion of new buildings and potential mod-

ifications on existing plants. Their area of

responsibility comprises the entire build-

ing portfolio, from site and development

planning through to conceptual planning

of infrastructure. In this context they place

great value on modern energy concepts

and long-term power supply. Once a build-

ing project is completed, they are respon-

sible for the entire documentation of the

building and related technology. Thus,

in addition to all construction activities,

this department is concerned with data-

base management, administration of real

estate and building-related data. They fur-

thermore advise other departments, pro-

vide support in the conceptual stages of

various investment projects and define fire

safety and safety-related aspects. More-

over, this department is the primary con-

tact for the Facility Management when it

comes to questions concerning construc-

tion and building maintenance activities.

35 years of successful site and

structural development

It all started with a small planning depart-

ment in 1980, just when the office build-

ing B2 was being completed. This was fol-

lowed by the planning of the Bluffton plant

in the Unites States, the completion of hall

5 and 2, as well as of the office building

B3. Hall 4 was finalized in 1990, followed

by the expansion of hall 5 one year later.

In 1992, hall 6 was finished. Commensu-

rate with progressively increased corpo-

rate success investment activities went up

significantly, not only at the Mindelheim

plant. In 1994, GROB-WERKE, for the first

time was nominated one of the Top Ten

machine tool manufacturers in Germany.

Not surprisingly in 1996, GROB architects

immediately started the planning of a new

office building B4 and the renewed expan-

sion of the American plant in Bluffton.

Although building projects were succes-

sively carried out until the end of the 1990s

according to current needs, this develop-

ment all of a sudden changed completely

about ten years ago. The reason being

the establishment of the general corpo-

rate goal to reap a turnover of “one bil-

lion euro in sales”. Determining this tar-

get not only meant doubling sales within

a fairly short time frame, it also had a sub-

stantial effect on construction activities,

particularly at the parent plant in Mindel-

heim. Thus, in 2008 hall 8 was built; one

year later the underpass to the south area

was constructed, epitomizing a further

vital milestone in the entire building his-

tory of GROB-WERKE – the development

and realization of the entire southern sec-

tion of the plant with all its buildings (halls

9, 10, 11 and 12), the outdoor facilities

as well as the company’s own power and

media supply. Plant planning in 2010 for

Dalian in China should also be kept in

mind, as well as the current most obvious

and evident project. The construction of

the office administration building B6.

Everyday Challenges

Broadly spoken, the daily tasks of our

colleagues in the Planning and Building

Department can be compared to those

in a classic Architecture Office. However,

their “prime client” is company man-

agement, expecting short-term changes

to projects and adaptations to the plan-

ning or construction process just in the

nick of time. Furthermore, all construction

work must be coordinated and ensured

by various technical crews, guarantee-

ing that plant processes and traffic will

not be adversely affected by these activi-

ties. Due to numerous building codes and

laws, regulatory requirements and con-

stantly changing EU standards, ecologi-

cally-friendly construction and sustainable

handling of resources such as concepts

of energy recovery and optimization are

highly critical. What ensues from this is

the fact that forward-looking planning is

absolutely vital. Flexibility of production

at the facilities, smooth handover to pro-

duction, development of standards for the

buildings and assurance of the corporate

identity can only be ensured by adhering

to foresighted planning. This is a require-

ment that calls for smooth and close

cooperation and coordination between

the managements of construction and

production.

A never-ending task

When looking back to the history of GROB-

WERKE, one will recognize at first glance

that construction has always been under-

way, particularly at the parent plant in

Mindelheim. Even today, construction of

the new B6 office administration building

is in full swing - a project rapidly advanc-

ing with GROB’s own team and the active

support of an additional architect. Com-

pletion is scheduled for August 2016. As

regards further planning, new gates with

an underground garage on the “South”

plant entrance, an integration and restruc-

turing of Hochvogelstrasse as well as a

new plant roadway are to be realized. The

construction of the new P4 parking lot on

Tegelbergstrasse, and additional produc-

tion-related activities such as the sawing

center in hall 7 or the fundamental layout

in the production area just complement

the extensive expansion plans.GROB works premises 1980

people celeBraTing anniversaries aT groBA new milestone in GROB‘s anniversary history: 50 years with the company

For the first time in the history of

GROB-WERKE, an employee is cele-

brating his „fiftieth“ anniversary with

the company. Hermann Engstle has

worked for our company for over half

of its 90-year history. We are delight-

ed for Hermann Engstle and wish him

all the very best for the future.

Strictly speaking, his time actually be-

gan prior to GROB-WERKE in Mindel-

heim. He embarked upon his apprentice-

ship as a machine fitter with Stetter on

September 1, 1965. This company, how-

ever, was taken over by what was then

ERNST GROB Tool and Machine Facto-

ry in 1968 and on whose site our cur-

rent parent plant was built. Hermann

Engstle took up the offer to complete

his apprenticeship at GROB and at the

end of this was employed not as a ma-

chine fitter as one would have expected

but as a draftsman in Mechanical Detail

Design. He had gained sufficient experi-

ence in this particular area by 1984 to

make a further switch to draft design in

the Special-Purpose Machines Depart-

ment. He got so much enjoyment from

this work that he faithfully remained

there until he was released to work part-

time prior to his retirement for 28 years!

In a nutshell, he is a dyed-in-the-wool

designer from head to toe!

As Christian Grob, the company‘s Chief

Representative, said in his celebratory

speech, „on the occasion of this won-

derful anniversary, I would like to express

my sincerest congratulations and utmost

thanks to Mr. Hermann Engstle on be-

half of my parents, the management and

the entire GROB Group. Thanks for the

faithfulness and immense loyalty that

he has shown to our company. This de-

serves the utmost respect and our high-

est regard, in equal measure.“

groB Trade fairsThe world of GROB machine manufacturing has been exhibitedat international events and trade fairs

1

In the past year GROB participated in more

than 30 events such as trade shows, semi-

nars or forums in thirteen countries around

the world. Almost on a monthly basis, the

GROB Marketing team not only presented

the latest products and innovations, but

also put much stock in promoting and cre-

ating awareness for the GROB brand itself.

This, however wouldn’t have been possi-

ble without the support of fellow GROB

employees from all production plants and

subsidiaries around the world. It was a pro-

cession of trade shows starting at the intec

in Leipzig and successfully finishing with

our in-house exhibition in Mindelheim; a

series of trade fairs that in Europe alone

led us to Germany, the United Kingdom,

Poland, Russia, the Czech Republic and

Italy. In the Americas we went to Mexico,

the USA, Brazil and Canada; in Asia we

traveled to Singapore, the People’s Repub-

lic of China, South Korea and Indonesia.

groB sales and disTriBuTionSuccessful strategic development of GROB Sales and Distribution

Worldwide success in the system and

universal machine business

Proof of the wisdom of the strategic

development of GROB Sales is demon-

strated by project sales to customers: In

China we have enjoyed a high success

rate among existing as well as new cus-

tomers in the system business. Our cus-

tomers in Germany have remained loyal

as well. GROB, with its convincing, com-

prehensive process competence, was, for

example, able to win a widely-acclaimed

project for production lines for truck

cylinder heads and engine blocks, result-

ing in a turnkey project with machining

centers, automation and assembly, opti-

mally designed in advance based on sim-

ulations to meet the requirements and

needs of the customer. To mention just

two of the highlights of this project: the

innovative intelligent tool changer with

concurrent tool feed on the G700 as well

as the newly-developed special machines

with automatic tool change. In the uni-

versal machine area, the sales team like-

wise has very successfully expanded

market share, acquiring, for exam-

ple, a project with ten G550T universal

machines integrated into two FMS lines

for high-precision titanium components

for aircraft turbines. A further example

in the aerospace segment is a project

involving four G550 machines and one

G350 in which pipe joints are machined

from solid pieces for supplying aircraft

fuel. On the whole, the proportion of

orders from the aerospace industry was

significantly increased.

Good prospects for 2016

GROB is fully prepared to meet the

challenges posed by new technologies

such as E-mobility and the changed

requirements for the powertrain used

in the automotive industry. This is a

topic that GROB engineers are inten-

sively investigating. Since our machinery

is produced the world over using iden-

tical processes, tools and high quality

standards, we can react very flexibly to

customer requirements within our plant

network. The new G800 heavy machin-

ing center can optimally address the

spectrum of potential customers in the

areas of commercial vehicles, shipbuild-

ing and power engineering, thereby

expanding our customer base.

Consistent structures, streamlined

processes and defined responsibilities

in the markets in conjunction with the

clear focus of the GROB sales and dis-

tribution strategy are the key drivers

that further fuel the global growth of

the GROB Group. This orientation will

meet future market demands while

also ensuring a more rapid and perti-

nent response to customer desires.

New sales and service branches

A significant component of the tremen-

dous growth of GROB in recent years has

been the concurrent expansion of our

sales and service network. In October a

new GROB sales and service branch, GROB

Italia, was established, adding to the exist-

ing eight GROB facilities. At the end of

this year, the tenth GROB facility will open

in Poland. In order to be particularly close

to our customers in the USA, we are cur-

rently developing a sales office in Detroit

as well as a service branch office in Califor-

nia. Due to strategic considerations, GROB

will directly support the universal machine

market in Baden-Württemberg, Germany,

with its own employees. Starting in 2016

they will be the immediate contact per-

sons for potential and current customers.

In this way, the GROB parent plant and

the entire universal machine sales and dis-

tribution force will continue to function

as the nerve center for all application and

service issues.

Soon expanded sales and distribution

structures will also be implemented in the

People’s Republic of China. Consequently

in the future GROB sales and service

branch offices in Beijing and Shanghai

as well as the plant in Dalian will func-

tion as a single unit, GROB China. As an

entity, GROB China will result in substan-

tially increased effectiveness and pro-

ductivity of the entire GROB Group, and

will further enhance processes within the

GROB Group. An important element in

the absolute satisfaction of our Chinese

customers is the thorough development

of on-site project management based on

the same procedures as in the three other

GROB plants.

Implementing our sales philosophy

in the markets

With the goal of consistently implement-

ing our sales processes in the Ameri-

cas, training was held at mid-year at

the GROB plant in Mindelheim for key

account managers and universal machine

sales personnel from the USA and Bra-

zil. During this week-long training, staff

was exposed to processes and tools of

the following Mindelheim departments:

Key Account Management, Universal

Machine Sales, Project Development,

Marketing and Project Management. In

addition, they acquired important skills

relating to uniform global quote prepara-

tion and related processes. Presentations

of the latest machine developments and

innovations such as GROB-NET4Industry

guaranteed a consistent and thorough

knowledge of our innovations. Individual

workshops provided in-depth familiar-

ity with these topics. The project matrix

organization in Sales is thus in full swing,

and is already fully functional in all four

plants across all sales departments and in

all processes.

GROB bolsters its

presence on the Indian

Automotive and

Aerospace market

In the first year that the GA series,

manufactured at the Chinese plant in

Dalian, has been available on the mar-

ket, twelve machines have already been

sold and delivered in record time. Five

machines to TVS Motor for cylinder head

and crankcase machining, a joint ven-

ture project with BMW, four machines

to Ramkirishna Forgings for a steering

knuckle project, two GA-machines and

one G550 to Azad Engineering for aero-

space and one machine to Kumar Exports

for the production of steering knuckles.

Two G500 system machines were suc-

cessfully delivered to the Cummins Phal-

tan plant, near Pune, as well as further

four G350 universal machines to Greatoo

India in Chennai for tire molds. In addi-

tion, eleven G300 machines, one G500

machine and a gantry were delivered and

installed at Hyundai, Chennai. With this

project we envisage positive dynamic

performance on the Indian market. For

this reason, we are further expanding

GROB India and are already strengthen-

ing its Service.

GROB Machine Tools

UK turns 25

The oldest GROB subsidiary is celebrat-

ing its birthday. GROB Machine Tools UK

Ltd. was founded as a sales and service

branch in Wellesbourne, in the Heart of

England, in 1990. It is now headquartered

in Birmingham. Coinciding with the an-

niversary celebrations, the completion of

the Ford Panther project can also be cel-

ebrated with the commencement of pro-

duction on the head and block line at the

FORD engine plant at Dagenham. In ad-

dition, the first assembly stations will be

supplied there in December. Besides that,

further G500/G520 units and a special

machine for the head and block line of the

modular engine were also supplied to the

BMW plant at Hams Hall. It is also worth

mentioning that our Aerospace business

segment has sold the first universal ma-

chine to Moyola, a customer from North-

ern Ireland, for the production of alumi-

num structural parts. As Louis Hill, General

Manager at GROB UK, points out, „It is a

very important order for us because it is a

reference project in the aviation industry,

which is of strategic importance to us.“

GROB-MExICO

Good capacity utilization

at GROB Mexico

GROB‘s business activities in Mexico are

going very well. They are also anticipating

further growth in the coming year. This

is ensured by projects such as at General

Motors in San Luis Potosi, for example,

where the GF9 transmission housing is

produced, or in Ramos Arizpe, where

the latest generation of engine is made.

The firm has received further orders from

Nemak and Ford Mexico. In particular,

Ford has commissioned systems for the

machining of the 8F transmission hous-

ing, of the 8F transformer housing and of

the middle and outer 8F valve plate. We

have also received further orders for uni-

versal machines from our biggest universal

machine customer, BOCAR. The second

Open House event at our subsidiary in

Queretaro was a great success.

GROB-KOREA

Impressive user

demonstration at

the Technology and

Application Center in Mindelheim

The precision, speed and efficiency of our

G350 universal machining center were

demonstrated to five delegates from a

company from Korea, which produces

molds for manufacturing tires, at the

Technology and Application Center (TAC)

in Mindelheim. The G350 performed the

machining of an aluminum workpiece

provided by the customer in less than a

third of the cycle time achieved by their

current machining center. The delegates

from Korea were not only absolutely

amazed by this outcome, but also per-

suaded to opt for the machine.

GROB Machine Tools UK at 25 years

and GROB Mexico S.A. at 15 years–

the two oldest GROB subsidiaries

are not only celebrating milestone

birthdays, but have also enjoyed a

successful year of trading in 2015.

With the sale of the Asian versions

of the universal machines manufac-

tured in Dalian, GROB Machine Tools

India has achieved a good increase

in its market share. GROB Korea has

furthermore been attending impres-

sive and convincing user demonstra-

tions at the Technology and Applica-

tion Center in Mindelheim with good

sales results.

groB do Brazil Firmly anchored in the GROB coordinated production system

Production and Design

By taking the global production strategy

into account, GROB do Brasil has also

invested heavily and extensively in new

machinery, most notably in the area of

production to substantially improve out-

put and quality. Thus, the new informa-

tion network between Mindelheim and

São Paulo, enables GROB to exchange and

reuse technical data such as NC programs,

tool data and chucking methods. Coop-

eration and collaboration in the design

department was also further enhanced

with Mindelheim, be it in terms of sup-

porting a lack of capacity in the sister

plants or processing possible orders within

the GROB group. Currently there are

even several Brazilian engineers working

in Mindelheim and Bluffton – a win-win

situation which has undoubtedly shown

initial success. The development of the

rotary pallet storage system for the G550

– Generation 1 is the result of the close

cooperation between the GROB Group.

The pallet pool design premiered at the

EMO in Milan this year.

Apprenticeship program

The training workshop, which was entirely

re-equipped within the course of this

year, can now also be fully utilized. At

present, GROB is furthermore investigat-

ing the possibility to align the training

of its apprentices up to the Mindelheim

standard via the Dual Training Program.

As a consequence a third year of train-

ing would have to be introduced. How-

ever, notwithstanding this fact this might

turn out to be a good tool to facilitate

the exchange of trainees with the parent

plant in Mindelheim. The first exchange of

trainees between GROB Mindelheim and

GROB do Brasil is actually already planned

for the coming year, when two appren-

tices from Brazil will undergo their train-

ing in Germany.

Assembly

This year, GROB do Brasil has turned out

its first G350 and G550 – Generation 1

machines in its own assembly area and

shipped them to our Bluffton, OH facil-

ity to serve the North American market (7

x G550 and 4 x G350). In order to meet

new orders in the coordinated production

system, staff from Brazil will support their

colleagues in Bluffton during the assem-

bly processes. For instance, there is cur-

rently a project for an Argentine customer

underway, that requires the involvement

of all three GROB-WERKE in São Paulo,

Bluffton and Mindelheim. Representa-

tives from all three plants will be present

during the delivery and set-up in Rosario.

In the wake of this particular project São

Paulo, for instance is supplying the cut-

ting machines such as the G-modules and

LIPs with the ancillary machines; whereas

Bluffton provides the cylinder head assem-

bly line, and Mindelheim the engine block

assembly line.

Pre-simulated clamping principles in production

Training workshop at GROB Brazil

After ten years of buoyant and brisk

economic growth, the Brazilian auto-

motive industry is now facing enor-

mous overcapacities. not surprisingly,

GROB do Brasil is intensively trying

to get a foothold in the export busi-

ness by virtue of its own global GROB-

network. By doing so GROB tries to

offset potential declines and losses

in sales in the domestic market. How-

ever, a cardinal prerequisite therefore

is to further strengthen and intensify

cooperation and collaboration with

the parent plant in Mindelheim, as

well as the better utilization of the

increased optimization of production

processes that has now been under-

way for several years.

Sheet metal fabrication department

In this particular fabrication shop GROB

do Brasil has set up a completely new

and unprecedented sheet metal pro-

cessing system. A Trumatic 7000 with

a Stopa storage system for 376 pallets.

The new system is connected to the

old L-3030 laser and will thereby sup-

ply the plates to be bent for the two

Trumpf machines and an EHT bending

press. The system was commissioned

in close cooperation with our special-

ists from GROB Mindelheim. Further-

more, extensive employee training was

conducted, since a restructuring of the

procedure and data storage is necessary

to operate this system. Start-up of the

system is scheduled for the end of this

year. Several welding booths as well as

additional welding equipment were also

obtained to fully supplement the com-

pletely redesigned layout of the sheet

metal fabrication shop.

groB usa GROB Bluffton benefiting from a booming American economy

Technology and Application Center

The burgeoning American economy is

creating best conditions for a dazzling

system machine business while also

substantially supporting the success-

ful marketing strategy in the universal

machine business. The second sales

representative meeting in Bluffton is

a vivid reflection of the new market-

ing strategy and repeated customer

awards are unambiguous proof that

GROB Bluffton is pursuing the right

path.

New GROB sales office in Detroit

Business for GROB’s system solutions in

the US is currently going very well and

extremely promising. Our most important

American customers, the Big Three, Fiat

Chrysler Automobile (FCA), Ford and Gen-

eral Motors, have just recently launched

projects for new engine technologies

directly involving GROB. The lion’s share

of these projects is being supported and

supplied from Mindelheim, even more

stressing the necessity to promote the

planning for the new GROB sales office in

Detroit, which is to be directly located in

the back yard of the Big Three. Our col-

leagues at GROB Bluffton are currently

looking for vacant office space in Detroit

in order to set up sales offices and meet-

ing rooms next door to these customers.

This is a further consistent and critical step

towards customer proximity.

Sales growth and customer

acquisition

For some time the overarching goal of our

sales program in the US has been acquir-

ing new customers while also sustain-

ably strengthening and nurturing ties to

already existing customers. Given the cur-

rent circumstances, the universal machine

business is evolving satisfactorily, yet did

fall short of our expectations we had at

the beginning of 2015. This is for the most

part due to a decline of the American

machine tools market by 10 to 15 percent

in the current year. Nevertheless, we have

been able to capture new customers such

as Tesla, Kawasaki and Nemak.

Furthermore, in mid-August all 17 GROB

sales representatives in the US and Can-

ada attended the second sales rep event

in Bluffton. Key topics included our new

products and related marketing activities,

a new service structure and new partners,

as well as regional reporting and setting

targets for the coming year.

Trade fairs, events and awards

To strengthen the “GROB” brand partic-

ularly in the universal machine business,

GROB Bluffton in 2015 alone attended

six trade fairs between the east and west

coasts as well as one in Toronto, Canada.

Moreover, the Technology and Applica-

tion Center in Bluffton has also turned

out to be part and parcel to our market-

ing activities. In doing so our team has

been challenged with numerous customer

applications, some of which have even-

tually esulted in orders. We are always

grateful and appreciate the recognition

we’ve received: the awards from our cus-

tomers. In the wake of this we have once

again received the Supplier of the Year

Award from General Motors this year.

Fiat Chrysler Automobile furthermore pre-

sented us with the Capital Equipment

Quality Award, and FORD recognized us

with their Best Supplier Award.

Production highlights and

employee development

The new construction phase in Bluffton

has been completed. The focus now is on

continuing the interior construction such

as the expansion of our foremen’s office

for the assembly managers as well as the

outfitting of the new spindle repair cen-

ter and CMM room. At present there are

more than 400 employees working at

GROB Bluffton – with upward tendency.

Due to extensive restructuring and reori-

entation processes of sales activities,

starting in January 2016 the GROB Bluff-

ton sales team will move into new office

spaces. These are currently being reno-

vated and rebuilt. Furthermore one GROB

Bluffton employee is presently undergo-

ing special training in the service area.

He will then later be headquartered at

the newly-established GROB office at our

California representative and be account-

able for all service activities there. Besides

this we have recruited an additional trainer

for the newly created apprenticeship pro-

gram, “Electrical Startup” to be launched

on January 1.

groB chinaNumerous successful debuts celebrated in the Chinese plant in Dalian

In the past year the plant in Dalian,

China celebrated an entire spectrum

of debuts. These included the han-

dover of the first completed produc-

tion cell, the introduction of assembly

systems, the start of the first gener-

ation of GROB’s apprenticeship pro-

gram as well as the newly-launched

overhaul and renovation project of

old GROB machines. All these events

perfectly reflect the variety of our

newest plant in Asia.

Retrofit of older machines and systems

Several overhaul and renovation projects

for our customer FAW-VW demonstrate

the fact that GROB machines undoubt-

edly deliver to their promises of still being

able to be used even after more than ten

years of the most demanding production

service. Their machines were extensively

overhauled for an additional ten years of

production; more than thirty machines of

various generations were supplemented

by new machinery, thus comprising a new-

ly-designed production system. By doing

so FAW-VW continues to maintain useful

value and high efficiency of its production

lines by reusing expensive components.

First training class starts its

working life

In June, after a difficult but exciting train-

ing period, 24 GROB apprentices took

their first steps into the actual working life

after successfully completing the theoret-

ical and practical final examination. They

all bravely started their training in 2011

while our plant in Dalian was not even yet

completed. Today they are well-trained

industrial mechanics and electronics tech-

nicians who can now apply their knowl-

edge on a daily basis in the production

areas of manufacturing and assembly.

First production cell successfully

shipped

In August of this year, the first ever by

GROB Dalian built production cell for

machining cylinder heads and engine

blocks was delivered and handed over

to our customer in time; after a very

demanding and challenging acceptance

procedure, lasting more than two weeks.

Concomitant with the delivery of these

highly complex production modules,

GROB Dalian was also for the first time

able to enhance the universal and system

machine product portfolio with linked

machines.

Assembly technology as a tool to

supplement machining systems

As part of partially covering our local

customers’ general interest, GROB China

was able to ship the first components

of a transmission “disassembly” line

to our customer Volkswagen this July.

This delivery epitomized the first step

towards a completely new and for GROB

so far unprecedented world of sys-

tem construction. However, it was also

an important step towards being able

to offer technically sophisticated and

locally manufactured products to meet

the increasing demand for automation

and assembly technology of the Chinese

market.
