As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of precision chains and chain drive systems, iwis looks back on a history spanning more than 100 years. Founded in Munich in 1916, iwis has built a strong international reputation through innovation, quality and sustainability. Today, the family-owned company employs around 1,900 people and consistently invests in sustainable technologies – both across its product portfolio and within its own operations.
An additional driver: Saving energy costs by purchasing your own electricity instead of public charging options – especially as there are hardly any public charging options in the surrounding area.
For iwis, moving towards electric mobility was a logical step within its overall sustainability strategy. Increasing support for hybrid company cars for employees, along with the introduction of fully electric pool vehicles for travel between the Munich and Landsberg am Lech sites, made the development of an in-house charging infrastructure essential.
As a Munich-based company, iwis values short distances, direct communication and reliable cooperation. For the charging infrastructure project, iwis therefore relied on proven players from the local area: The Mobility House as a long-standing technology partner – and through this connection, reev as a flexible software provider from Munich. The cloud-based solution from reev not only impressed with its intuitive user interface, but also with the ability to operate the system independently. The close coordination within the regional partner network contributed significantly to the smooth running of the project.
The implementation of the charging infrastructure began in early 2023 and was completed after around one year. Specific challenges, such as the required civil engineering work for cable routing across employee car parks and ensuring a stable Wi-Fi connection for the charging points, were identified early on and successfully addressed.
One highlight of the implementation was the integration of private charging for employees – an additional benefit that further increased acceptance and satisfaction among the workforce. In addition, charging in the underground car park has been available since August 2025, with eight charging spaces, expanding the offering and further improving convenience for users.
Today, the charging points are available to multiple user groups:
How would you describe reev in three words?
• Clear and intuitive user interface
• Easy employee setup
• Strong regional partners
Feedback from employees has been consistently positive: the charging infrastructure is seen as an important step towards greater sustainability and a more modern corporate environment. At iwis, electric mobility has long been more than just a trend – it is an integral part of the company’s responsibility towards the environment and society.
Pool vehicles can be conveniently charged overnight, ensuring full operational readiness each day. The need to search for public charging stations is eliminated – a clear efficiency gain in everyday operations. The option to use reserved charging bays is also particularly valued.
“reev gives us the flexibility we need for our growth – intuitive, scalable and locally based.”

At iwis, Charly Chain stands for commitment to environmental protection and resource conservation and accompanies numerous initiatives within the company. Wherever Charly appears, it stands for responsible action, clever ideas and sustainable solutions. The symbol makes corresponding projects and measures immediately recognizable and ensures that they stand out – both internally and externally. In this way, Charly Chain creates awareness, orientation and identification.
Sustainability is deeply rooted in iwis’ DNA. The company pursues a comprehensive transformation concept at its German sites and regularly prepares global Corporate Carbon Footprints (CCF) (2023 & 2024). PV systems are already being installed to cover part of the energy requirements independently. The use of green electricity is also being planned – a further step towards making the charging infrastructure even more sustainable in the future
VisionIn conjunction with the cloud-based reev platform and the successive expansion of PV systems, iwis aims to optimally dovetail charging infrastructure and energy supply.
Through its partnership with reev, iwis has established a future-proof, flexible and sustainable charging infrastructure. The combination of strong local partnerships, PV integration and user-friendly software makes this project a true showcase for successful electric mobility in corporate environments.
Looking ahead, iwis plans to further expand its charging infrastructure – particularly as part of the construction of a new site with an underground car park. The option of opening the charging infrastructure for paid public charging and eRoaming is also currently being evaluated.
reev is energizing eMobility and transforming charging infrastructure in Europe into an active component of the energy system.
The internationally operating software company, headquartered in Munich, provides a leading platform for energy and charging management in semi-public environments.
The cloud-based reev Platform combines intelligent energy and charging management with charging infrastructure management for businesses, fleets, parking facilities and the real estate sector.
As a partner to electrical contractors, companies, wholesalers and manufacturers, reev supports the economic and sustainable operation of charging infrastructure and drives its integration into the energy system.
Whether you already have a specific project in mind or are still exploring your options — we help you implement energy and charging management simply and efficiently.
