Manz AG is a German engineering company headquartered in Reutlingen, known for its automation, electronics, and battery-production systems. Founded in 1987, Manz grew into a key technology supplier for automotive, energy, and semiconductor manufacturing.

In December 2024, Manz AG filed for insolvency in self-administration as part of a court-supervised restructuring process in Germany. This restructuring affects the parent company and several German business units. International subsidiaries in Asia and the United States continue to operate independently and are not affected by the proceedings.

While production and customer projects in Germany are continuing, some product lines and spare part programs have changed. Owners of earlier or discontinued Manz systems often face difficulty sourcing spare parts and drawings through regular channels.


The Manz Background

Manz AG designs and builds complex automation and manufacturing equipment used in areas such as battery assembly, display production, and precision electronics. Its systems combine mechanical engineering with robotics and advanced control software.

As part of the ongoing restructuring, several divisions are being reorganized or transferred to new ownership. In February 2025, Tesla Automation GmbH agreed to acquire selected assets, sites, and employees related to Manz’s automation business. Other business areas remain active under the supervision of the insolvency administrator.

For operators of earlier Manz systems, spare part supply and engineering documentation availability may vary depending on model, production year, and site of manufacture.


Challenges for Machine Owners

Running Manz automation equipment during or after restructuring can pose challenges such as:
• Limited availability of certain spare parts or sub-assemblies
• Uncertainty regarding long-term technical support for legacy systems
• Missing or inaccessible engineering documentation for older models
• Extended delivery times when components are sourced externally

Maintaining high-precision production systems becomes more difficult when direct OEM access is restricted or restructured.


Our Solution

MachineToolSpareParts.site provides independent support for owners of discontinued or restructured Manz systems. We work to acquire licensed drawings and verified data sets that allow qualified manufacturers to reproduce parts according to original specifications.

Through our international partner network, we can:
• Reproduce discontinued Manz AG spare parts
• Provide licensed drawings and verified technical data where available
• Manufacture compatible precision components through certified suppliers

Our focus is on maintaining production reliability while respecting intellectual-property and licensing boundaries.


Request Manz Spare Parts

If you operate Manz automation or manufacturing equipment and require spare parts, submit a request through our contact form. Include the model, part description, or a clear photo, and our engineers will review your inquiry.

Every request is checked individually to confirm whether drawings are accessible or can be lawfully licensed for reproduction.
