Precision and expertise in modern testing technology
AIP stands for modern, high-performance testing technology that confidently masters complex requirements in industry and research. As part of the APL Group, we can not only offer technologically precise and intelligently developed test benches, but – in cooperation with IAVF and APL GmbH – also provide comprehensive testing services to meet our customers' peak demand, for example. Close cooperation within the group also enables us to incorporate first-hand user experience directly into the further development of our test benches.

Test benches that combine technological sophistication and practical engineering are developed at our Haldenwang site. Our portfolio includes solutions for emissions and consumption measurement, e-mobility, acoustics, environmental and endurance testing, as well as sophisticated special test benches. As part of the APL Group, we strengthen the overall offering with high-quality test benches that raise development and testing processes to a new level of performance through high quality, individual design, and future-oriented technological expertise.

AIP Corporate Headline

AIP – Your partner for sustainable testing technology

Future-proof testing technology is created through modular test benches, high adaptability, and intelligent integration of hardware and software. Our test bench solutions can be flexibly expanded, are intuitive to use, and can be seamlessly integrated into existing test processes.

With clearly structured projects and collaborative partnerships, we ensure that every solution is technically sound, easy to maintain, and expandable in the long term—for testing technology that will confidently master future requirements.

The center for customized testing systems

Customized testing systems are developed at the Haldenwang site – from the initial concept to the fully realized system. All relevant departments work closely together to ensure that design, software development, project management, assembly, and quality assurance are precisely coordinated.

Our goal:
To create an environment in which ideas quickly become market-ready testing systems – precisely developed, reliably implemented, and ready for worldwide use.

Internationally networked – regionally strong

With a strong international network, AIP has a global presence. In addition to our headquarters in Germany, partners in North and South America and South Korea support our customers directly on site. Our own companies in India, Japan, and China also enable us to provide close support in the most important growth markets.

This ensures that our test benches and services are available globally—with short distances, regional expertise, and AIP quality.

Our service – reliably at your side

AIP's service department ensures that our testing systems function optimally throughout their entire life cycle. Thanks to our global service network of international companies and regional partners, we offer fast and competent support – worldwide and directly on site.

Our range of services includes installation, commissioning, maintenance, repairs, spare parts supply, modernization, remote support, and training. This ensures that every system remains reliable, efficient, and operational in the long term.

Integrated management systems

AIP's integrated management system combines quality, environment, safety, sustainability, and information protection in a clear, efficient framework. This enables us to guarantee the highest standards, responsible conduct, and maximum reliability—for innovative solutions that strengthen our customers in a wide range of industries in the long term.

Calibration laboratory

The AIP calibration laboratory stands for maximum measurement accuracy and quality. As a laboratory accredited by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS), we ensure the reliable traceability of all measuring equipment—a clear added value for our customers and for AIP.

Through precise calibrations, we increase process reliability, reduce the risk of errors, and create the basis for stable, standard-compliant products and services. This allows our customers to benefit from maximum reliability, while AIP maintains its quality at a consistently high level.

AIP Milestones

1994
Decision to establish MAHA AIP as an independent division within MAHA with the aim of expanding test bench construction in the industrial sector.
1995
Official launch of MAHA AIP, originally under the name IP – Industrial Test Benches. The “A” for Automotive was added later. The portfolio mainly comprised end-of-line test benches, in particular functional roller and brake test benches.
1998
Development of the first 48" all-wheel drive exhaust roller test bench. This was followed by the first delivery to a customer under the product name IP ECD 48L/4x4.
2003
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awards MAHA AIP its first contract for a 48" all-wheel drive roller test bench for testing medium-duty vehicles.
2005
Spin-off of MAHA-AIP GmbH & Co. KG as an independent subsidiary of MAHA from the former MAHA AIP special division.
2010
MAHA AIP receives its first order for a wind tunnel balance for conducting aerodynamic tests in research and development for passenger cars and racing cars.
2014
Groundbreaking ceremony for the new Research and Innovation Center (construction phase 2). This expansion will increase existing production and testing capacities and create additional office space for sales, project management, and software and service departments.
2019
The German Accreditation Body accredits the AIP calibration laboratory in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 for the calibration of roller test benches with regard to force and speed.
2021
AIP has been awarded a contract to supply testing technology for testing components and complete vehicles for the next generation of electric vehicles from a German OEM. As the general contractor, AIP will take on all planning tasks up to the final acceptance of the test benches.
