Tesla Inc stated it is looking to resolve outstanding concerns with legacy customers of its Grohmann engineering unit after a takeover by the automaker resulted in a shift in management priorities towards Tesla tasks.

Prior to being bought by Tesla in November, Grohmann assisted customers develop highly automated and effective factories, consisting of battery assembly lines for electric vehicles.

Grohmann’s clients consisted of competing automakers BMW, Volkswagen and Daimler, before Tesla CEO Elon Musk ordered the company’s main management resources to be dedicated toward pushing expansion of Tesla’s production centers.

“We have been in contact with every client for weeks on this concern and are on the way to discovering individual solutions with each of them,” Tesla stated.

The concern of how to handle present Grohmann clients led to departure Klaus Grohmann, who was ousted at the end of March, just months after selling his company to Tesla.

Tesla is counting on Grohmann Engineering’s automation and engineering proficiency to help it increase production to 500,000 vehicles yearly by 2018 through the style of ultra effective factories.

“We believe that Grohmann will honor its contractual obligations toward us in future,” BMW stated on Thursday, including that it had not been officially alerted about any modifications to the contractual plans.

Daimler and Volkswagen made no comments.
