Rototest Establishes Germany Base for Sales and Testing

TOYO Corporation is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Rototest International AB, will establish a subsidiary, Rototest Deutschland GmbH, near Stuttgart, Germany, effective October 1, 2025. Rototest Germany will strengthen its technical support system by hiring local personnel, and will be responsible for product sales and contract testing services in the German market, offering a wide range of solutions to customers. By strengthening its system in Germany, an important market for advanced mobility, TOYO aims to further expand its business.

In recent years, the automotive industry has seen advances in technological innovation, including electrification, autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and connected cars, resulting in increasingly sophisticated and complex systems. As a result, efficient evaluation has become a challenge at development sites, and the Vehicle-in-the-Loop Simulation (VILS) method, which combines hardware and simulation or actual vehicles with simulation, is attracting attention. In November 2023, Toyo Corporation acquired Rototest, the developer and manufacturer of the hub dynamometer “ROTOTEST® Energy,” as a wholly owned subsidiary, and has since expanded its “Driving & Motion Test System (DMTS),” an integrated system that combines this product with radar and camera simulators.

The European market, and Germany in particular, is a key market for major automakers and suppliers, with their development bases concentrated there. By establishing this local subsidiary, we will be able to provide system proposals and technical support from a base close to our customers, thereby establishing ourselves as a trusted premium development partner for the German automotive industry. Furthermore, we plan to open a test lab in January 2026 and begin offering professional services for contract testing using “ROTOTEST® Energy.”

Toyo Corporation has set “advanced mobility business” as a key focus area in its medium-term management plan “TY2027,” and has positioned the expansion of its overseas business as one of its business strategies. The Rototest Group’s order target for 2030 is 3.5 billion yen, of which Rototest Germany aims to receive 1 billion yen.
