The company sells industrial capital equipment including gear pumps, continuous and single cartridge filters, screen changers, underwater and strand pelletizers, dryers, pulverizers, recycling systems, and (post-SIKORA) laser, X-ray, and length measurement devices. Notable product lines include the PEARLO underwater pelletizer, M²-USG next-generation pelletizing system, CSC-R-DV continuous screen changer, BRF/SCF filtration systems, LASER PRO diameter gauges, X-RAY 6000 wall-thickness systems, and the LINE PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZER (LPO) software.

The company makes money through one-time capital-equipment sales, spare parts, repair and maintenance contracts, rotor sharpening services (eight grinding centers worldwide), retrofitting and technology upgrades, training, and access to test and development centers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by the myMAAG e-commerce shop for spares and accessories, direct local representation in multiple countries, and active participation in trade shows such as wire Düsseldorf and Plast Milan. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

MAAG employs approximately 1,000 people across more than 16 global locations, with interconnected test centers in Germany, the USA, and Thailand, and serves enterprise customers across polymer production, compounding, extrusion, masterbatch, recycling, rotomolding, hot melt adhesives, industrial/chemical pump applications, and wire and cable manufacturing. SIKORA, acquired in 2025 and headquartered in Bremen with ~500 employees, extends the group into real-time measurement, control, and sorting technologies for cable production.
