The Company
Since it was founded in 1997, Mechatronik GmbH has established itself as one of the internationally most recognised specialists for classic Mercedes-Benz cars. The company has achieved solid growth, while continuously maintaining high quality standards. Our past and present success has proved us right. This is how Mechatronik GmbH grew from a three-man workshop in Großbottwar, Swabia, to a globally operating company based in Pleidelsheim, north of Stuttgart. And still, during all the changes we have seen since the company was founded, we have always maintained our philosophy and our high standards, always aiming for the best possible result.
Our team of more than 40 employees works with state-of-the-art equipment on more than 6,000 square meters. The team is a healthy mix of experienced specialists with many years of experience and highly qualified young talents. In order to ensure that we are continuing to keep this expertise in the company and pass it on to the next generation, Mechatronik has its own trainee programme.
