Close to market and green technology

Tradition meets technology

 2011 is the year, in which MBK Maschinenbau GmbH, Kisslegg, Germany celebrates its 50th anniversary.

In 1961 Georg Pfender started a little machine shop, in which, a few years later, he designed and built his first cage machine for the local concrete pipe producer Rinninger. From there the success story of MBK took off and the original design for straight cages was quickly updated to bell cages.

  Second generation, Albert Pfender, a mechanical engineer, succeeded his father in 1985 and invested all his time and energy in a consistent growth of the company, in continuous updating of the machines to the actual available technology and last but not least in optimising the service quality.
