History

Grohmann Engineering was founded by Klaus Grohmann in 1963.[7] It moved its headquarters to Prüm in 1983.

In November 2016, the privately held company agreed to be acquired by the American automotive company Tesla Motors.[7] At the time, 74.9% of the company was owned by Klaus Grohmann and 25.1% was owned by the de (Deutsche Beteiligungs AG).[8] At the time, the company had 700 employees,[7] with annual revenues of about €120 million.[9] The deal was completed on 3 January 2017, at which point the company employed 800 people.[10] According to a May 2017 SEC filing, Tesla paid $109.5 million in cash for the company, and in addition paid $25.8 million for a new incentive compensation agreement.[11]

In April 2017, founder Klaus Grohmann left the company due to a dispute with Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Musk demanded the company halt production for competitors, such as BMW and Daimler AG, to focus on the Model 3.[4]

المقالة الرئيسية: Tesla and unions § Germany

By discontinuing business relations with all customers except Tesla, the company's trade union was concerned with wage levels and with jobs in the long term if electric cars did not have the expected success.[12] Tesla then offered Grohmann employees a raise of 150 euros per month and employee stock options worth $10,000 with a payout over the following four years, as well as a one-time cash payment of 1000 euros. Tesla did not comment on the works agreement.[13] In October 2017, the company agreed with union representatives on a competitive pay structure. According to the chairman of the works council, the future remuneration was at the level of the collective agreement valid for the industry.[14]
