MTEK

What MTEK does

MTEK Industry AB is a privately held Swedish software company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Alfta, Sweden. The firm originated as a global manufacturing excellence consulting company operating in hundreds of factories before pivoting in 2015 to build MBrain, a no-code Digital Production System (MES/MOM+) that was commercially launched in fall 2020. MBrain serves discrete manufacturers with complex assembly operations—typically facilities with 100-250 employees and around $100M in output—where frequent product changes, configured-to-order workflows, and end-to-end traceability across manual and automated assembly create challenges that traditional rigid MES systems struggle to address.

The MBrain platform is built on a method-centric architecture that captures complete manufacturing context, enabling engineers and operators to design, configure, and deploy processes through a drag-and-drop, no-code interface without programming. The technology runs on Azure IoT Operations and integrates with Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Fabric, and broader enterprise systems through Mint, a patent-pending no-code integration engine released in January 2025. A third product, MSense (launched 2025), introduces persona-based agentic AI capabilities that operate within customer-owned secure infrastructure and support foundation models from OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta. Integrated sub-products include Statistical Process Control, Sequence Planner, Quality Notifications, and Yamazumi Charts.

MTEK generates revenue primarily through annual subscriptions to MBrain under a transparent fixed-price model that allows customers to add cells, lines, workstations, or machines without renegotiation. Revenue is complemented by professional services (implementation, deployment support, training, and digitalization strategy) and licensing of Mint as a standalone or bundled integration platform. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, a global network of deployment and go-to-market partners including Accenture, and the Microsoft Marketplace. Named enterprise customers include SAAB, Koenigsegg, Polarium, Aira, Swegon, Warner Electric, SenseAir, Airahome, and CAKE, spanning aerospace and defense, automotive, HVAC, energy storage, clean tech, and micromobility segments. The company has been recognized as both a Leader and an Innovation Leader in ABI Research's 2024 MES Quadrant with an overall innovation score of 87.8.
