In 2006 JW Froehlich repurchased all company shares thus making the company self-sufficient once again. Just one year later the employees were given the opportunity to buy company shares. The breaking of ground for the foundation building in Leinfelden and the establishment of the USA branch, "JW Froehlich Inc." occurred at the same time. In 2008, the company established itself in China with "JW Froehlich Shanghai Co. Ltd.". JW Froehlich increasingly integrated the latest robotic technology into the production of their testing and assembly systems and designed special machines for the most complex of requirements.

The success of JW Froehlich continued unabated through the middle and end of the 80s too and the company reached the limits of the space available to them: In 1989 the company erected the 5-storey engineering centre in Leinfelden for the control and leak test panels departments. In 1989 a new assembly hall was built in Plochingen with additional office spaces. In 1990 the company was already able to celebrate its 25th anniversary. In 1991 whilst JW Froehlich Maschinenfabrik seized the moment to realign its boundaries by acquiring the neighbouring property in Leinfelden thus further increasing their plot, the company disposed of its site in Brazil in 1992. In 1993, all of the JW Froehlich company shares were sold to the Ex-Cell-O group whilst in parallel it was able to open its own factory in the UK. It was planned to tap into the Asiatic market though a joint venture in China. The development and production of various test and assembly stations and systems continued to be in demand from the most influential automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

In 1965, Josef W. Fröhlich laid the foundation stone of his company with the invention of the "micro-leck-test" leak test panel. And it did not take long before there was a customer demand for complete test rigs: As "JW Froehlich LECKTESTTECHNIK", the company started to develop leak testing machines for renowned automotive manufacturers such as Daimler-Benz, VW, Nissan, Fiat, Ford and Audi. Amongst other things, at this time Daimler-Benz placed an order for the world's first computer-controlled EOL test rig for NAG1 automatic transmissions. This was followed by a further expansion in space for capacity reasons: After the company settled in Leinfelden in 1967, it acquired the first assembly hall just one year later and in 1970 its own factory in Kohlhammerstraße in Leinfelden, where the headquarters are located to this day. After the expansion of the factory and administration, a second site was opened in Plochingen in 1974. In the same year, the company changed its name to JW FROEHLICH Maschinenfabrik GmbH.
