COMPANY Who we are -
ABOUT US
Since mbk Maschinenbau GmbH was established in 1961 by
Georg Pfender, the company has developed to be one of the
leading producer of cage welding machines and equipment
for the building and concrete industry, by technical know-how,
inventive thinking, high quality standards and a close cooper -
ation with customers. More than 900 welding machines and a
total of over 1,100 machines have meanwhile been sold to
over 60 countries worldwide.
As a mid-sized family owned enterprise mbk excels by a fair
partnership with customers, employees and business friends.
Especially customers are treated with the highest priority. With
our long life products we offer you an optimal benefit. Our
customers enjoy competent and individual consulting, from
the first design sketch up to the production and installation,
inclusive after sales service. Customized adaptation of standard
machines and also in development projects and the construction
of special machines. Our modern machinery also enables us
to be your reliable partner for contract manufacturing and for
the production of parts and assemblies in the field of machining
and steel construction.
The quality management according DIN EN ISO 9001 is an im-
portant guarantee for the quality assurance and reliability of
our equipment and supports a permanent optimizing of all
processes.

SERVICES What we do –
QUALITY OFFENSIVE
Made in Germanymbk produces exclusively in the Kisslegg facility – concepts for individual solutions are created on a production area ofaround 10,000 square meters. Generous storage areas enable optimized logistics processes.
High quality standardsQualified employees who receive regular continued education and training to ensure the smooth handling of all customerorders and the highest safety standards in all production processes. In-house quality management guarantees not onlythe highest quality class of all the machines, but also the competent administration of and logistics for all orders. mbkcontinues to develop and is characterized by low labour turnover.
Broad range of offersThorough analysis and detailed consultation are the basis for successful cooperation. It does not matter whether it concernsnew evolutions or further developments, upgrades, modifications, custom manufacture in the field of large machines,precision-engineered application equipment or tools for manual work processes.
QUALITY OFFENSIVE
Maximum design expertiseSophisticated designs emerge from the most modern design departments. The 3D design drawings drawn-up by technicians and engineers extend up to 100% market maturity.
High-tech productionA machine park of the latest generation is prerequisite for the best production results. Only then is it possible to meetthe strict quality standards and ensure the highest precision. The machines are operated by highly qualified employeeswho are able to meet the high quality standards.
After-sales serviceThe service provided by mbk is still far from over after delivery, installation and intensive introduction on the machinesand systems that we produce. As part of the after-sales services the mbk service technicians can naturally also take overmaintenance responsibilities. The availability of essential spare parts is ensured for a period of decades. The worldwidembk sales and distribution partners make it possible.
