About us
KE-TEC GmbH is your independent partner for everything to do with lithium-ion batteries.
Our services range from abuse testing and prototyping to the analysis of batteries and cells. With modern equipment such as our CT scanner and specialist test rigs we developed ourselves, we deliver dependable results.
Founded on reliability and discretion.
From day one, KE-TEC has believed in the future of e-mobility. That has not changed to this day.
Without a drastic change in the mobility sector, climate neutrality by 2045 cannot be reached. We work towards this goal with test results, with prototyping and design, and with analysis reports that move lithium-ion technology forward.
We believe in E-Mobility
OUR PROMISE
No matter how much we grow and evolve as a company, we'll always be driven by five essential principles to deliver the highest quality possible.
INDEPENDENT EXPERTISE
Freedom from bias. Independent since 2007, with no manufacturer ties and no commercial interest in the outcome.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
No matter your requirements, we develop test methods, prototypes, and analysis approaches tailored to your specific needs.
RELIABILITY
We guarantee consistent, high-quality results across all our services.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
We develop clean technologies that minimise environmental impact. Our systems, such as our exhaust system for abuse testing, allow us to deliver services with a minimal environmental footprint.
TOGETHER AS A TEAM
Our employees are our greatest asset. We invest in their development and support their growth.

DISCRETION
We are KE-TEC, a leading testing and analysis laboratory where precision and DISCRETION go hand in hand. ENGINEERING is our compass, guiding us to the FRONTIER of battery testing and analysis. We deliver clear results that decisions can rest on. Through continuous INNOVATION, our measurements and methods keep evolving, so we can turn unknown failure patterns into usable metrics. Our commitment to the ENVIRONMENT secures the future of electrified mobility. We are at our strongest at the technical limits, driven by what seems IMPOSSIBLE.
Milestones
Company Founding
The KE-TEC GmbH success story begins with its founding by Roland and Angela Weixler. KE-TEC focused on the fundamental requirements of a rapidly growing electric mobility sector across analysis, prototyping and testing.
First In-House Prototype
In 2008, KE-TEC built its first self-developed prototype.
Opening of the Test Centre
With the opening of the test centre in Leiterberg, KE-TEC made it possible to run abuse tests safely and in an environmentally friendly way.
Relocation to Betzigau
To make room for the growing company, KE-TEC moved into its own buildings in Betzigau.
5,000 batteries analysed
KE-TEC reached the milestone of 5,000 analysed batteries.
Opening of Building 4
To make space for larger-scale prototype assembly, KE-TEC built Building 4 in Betzigau.
Cycling facility
In 2023, KE-TEC built a cycling facility of its own design with more than 100 climate chambers and, because of the PLC shortage, developed its own control boards.
Vehicle Testing Expansion
To carry out vehicle tests at the highest level, KE-TEC extended its site with a modern vehicle test room.
Cell Analysis Lab Expansion
KE-TEC remodels the cell analysis laboratory to make room for four analysis desks designed by KE-TEC and a glovebox. The ventilation is also rebuilt, so that work no longer requires a respirator.
Design of the KE-TEC Prototype Platform
KE-TEC is designing a prototype platform that will let our customers build prototypes for all kinds of applications quickly.
Our Team
Our Leadership
What Drives Us?
Operational Agility
EFFICIENCY IS PART OF OUR PROCESS. FROM THE ARRIVAL OF THE COMPONENT TO USABLE DATA, WE TAKE THE SHORT ROUTE: LITTLE ADMINISTRATION, FULL FOCUS ON THE ANALYSIS. THIS IS HOW WE RELIABLY MEET YOUR CRITICAL R&D MILESTONES. WE BUILD TEST FIXTURES OURSELVES, REPORT RESULTS BACK AT SHORT NOTICE AND WORK TO FIXED ANALYSIS PROCEDURES, SO THAT YOUR DEVELOPMENT CYCLES KEEP MOVING WITHOUT DELAY.
Forensic Expertise
OUR TEAM BRINGS TOGETHER DECADES OF EXPERIENCE WITH LITHIUM-ION ARCHITECTURES, APPLIED MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY, FAILURE ANALYSIS AND SENSOR TECHNOLOGY. THIS DEEP EXPERTISE LETS US MAKE CLEARLY REASONED TECHNICAL DECISIONS AT EVERY STAGE. IT ALLOWS US TO NARROW DOWN COMPLEX FAILURE PATTERNS FASTER AND MORE PRECISELY THAN CONVENTIONAL LABS, AND GIVES YOUR DEVELOPMENT TEAMS THE CLEAR FINDINGS THEY NEED FOR THEIR INNOVATIONS.
A Culture of Absolute Rigour
OUR ENGINEERS AND LAB TECHNICIANS UPHOLD OUR UNCOMPROMISING STANDARDS. WE MAINTAIN A WORKING ENVIRONMENT BUILT ON SCIENTIFIC INTEGRITY, CLEAR RESPONSIBILITY AND CLOSE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. BECAUSE WE DEMAND THE HIGHEST TECHNICAL STANDARD AND CONTINUOUSLY INVEST IN NEW METHODS, WE ATTRACT AND KEEP THE BEST ANALYSTS IN THE INDUSTRY. THIS ATTITUDE ENSURES THAT EVERY REPORT FROM US IS NOT ONLY ACCURATE BUT DEPENDABLE.
