Mate Rimac posted on his Facebook profile that Rimac Technology and BMW Group have reached an agreement on a long-term partnership. This represents a milestone and the biggest and most ambitious project the company has had so far.

Rimac Technology manufactures electric drive systems and battery systems for global car manufacturers, and will now develop and manufacture high-voltage battery systems for BMW Group vehicles, which will be used in future models.

“For me, it all started with a BMW from 1984, which I started to convert to electric drive in 2008. At that time, it was my dream to work for BMW. This collaboration marks a key moment in the growth of Rimac Technology and is a clear sign of the transition from a high performance product provider for small series models (like Aston Martin Valkyrie, Pininfarina Battista, Rimac Nevere etc.) to a high capacity manufacturer for projects like this one with the BMW Group,” said Rimac.

Rimac Gropu is constantly growing. They recently opened Rimac Campus, showing that they are ready to deliver large projects for leading brands in the automotive industry. The project with the BMW Group is just one in a series, and the company says that talks about other similar projects are ongoing.

“Today, we are not only working with BMW, but together we are creating the future of their electric models – in Croatia, where battery systems for future BMW models have been developed and produced for the last two years, and now it has become public. A large part of the Campus is specifically intended for the production of batteries for BMW, which, together with other agreed deals, fully exploits it (we already lack space and are planning a new factory). It is not only the biggest deal in our history, but perhaps the biggest contract in the history of the country (at least I couldn’t find a bigger one),” Rimac wrote.
