Grob Aircraft was originally a German aircraft factory founded in 1926 by Ernst Grob in Munich.

In the beginning, production was limited to combustion engines and machine tools.

In 1968, the factory in Mindelheim (Bavaria) was built. Grob made transfer chains there.

The transition to the aviation industry took place in 1971 with the manufacture under license of more than 200 Cirrus type gliders.

From 1973 the factory began to manufacture its own aircraft, the G 102 Astir, the first member of a long line of training, touring and aerobatic gliders, single and two-seaters.

The aerospace division Grob Luft- und Raumfahrt (which has since become Grob Aerospace) was created in 1971 by Burkhart Grob.

In 1974 Burkhart (son heir to Ernst Grob) additionally built the Mattsies -Tussenhausen aircraft factory near Mindelheim. The Munich site was abandoned in 1976.

In the early 1980s, the Grob factories focused on motorized aircraft, the first of which was the G 109A powered touring glider.

One of the problems was the low power of the engines available at the time, which prompted the factory to produce, on the one hand, its 90 hp Grob 2500 engine, which was fitted to the G 109B motor glider from 1983 onwards.

In addition, there were many other evolutions (in particular external, as at the Korff company) with engines reaching 130 hp, henceforth making it possible to tow gliders at advantageous prices.

Grob's production today focuses on high-speed aerobatic aircraft like the G 140TP and training planes like the G 115 and G 120A.

In the meantime, the design office of the Grob Aerospace factories has taken a further step: the Grob SPn Utility Jet, a business jet that can carry 8 passengers.

During the 1990s, Grob developed a high altitude research aircraft designated Grob Strato 2C entirely made of composite material.

The Swiss group Executive Jet Investments (EJI), headquartered in Zurich, created the company ExecuJet Aviation Group for this purpose, which acquired the majority (90%) of Grob Aerospace at the end of September 2006 and will be renamed Grob Aerospace AG.

Burkhart Grob leaves the company at 80 years after the first flight of the business jet Grob SPn entirely in composite material but retains 10% of the shares.
