Esslingen Location: Assembly and Testing Center for Vehicle Body Construction, Vehicle Modification, Test Bench Construction, and Analysis

22. July 2026

Now that we’ve introduced our Munich location, we’d like to take a closer look at our Esslingen location—a key component of the BRIGHT Group for assembly, analysis, and the practical implementation of complex projects.

Since 2018, the Esslingen location has been steadily developing into a high-performance assembly and diagnostic center.

Thanks to its proximity to leading automakers such as Mercedes-Benz and its location in the highly innovative Stuttgart region, the site offers ideal conditions for efficient project implementation and close collaboration with customers.

From Analyzing Findings to a Holistic Solution

Originally, the focus in Esslingen was on the disassembly and analysis of internal combustion engines and components. Today, the site has evolved into a versatile center of excellence that intelligently combines assembly, analysis, and implementation.

A key milestone was the targeted modernization and restructuring of the site at the end of 2025. This made it possible to streamline processes significantly and create additional capacity, particularly for vehicle projects
