MTC Holding

What MTC Holding does

MTC Holding Ges.m.b.H. is a Vienna-based, family-owned industrial holding founded in 1986 by the Krivda family, operating across two core divisions: a European trading network for raw materials and additives, and a specialized pharmaceutical film manufacturing plant in Poland. The trading division distributes food additives and, since 2012, pharmaceutical raw materials into the food and pharmaceutical sectors through wholly-owned regional offices in Slovenia (Murska Sobota, 1992), Croatia (Zagreb), Serbia (Sombor), and Romania (Cluj-Napoca), acting as the European representative of globally recognized manufacturers. The manufacturing division, operated through MTC Polska in Pruszków, Poland, produces pharmaceutical films, cosmetics films, and lids and films for food industry packaging using coating and lamination technologies; the plant was established in 1995 and materially expanded in 2008, 2012, and 2017.

The business model combines transaction-fee distribution of third-party manufactured raw materials with one-time license-style sales of proprietary film products, all routed through direct enterprise field sales via the regional office network rather than digital channels. End customers are manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries requiring qualified inputs and specialty packaging films. The group also holds stakes in non-core activities under the MTC Group umbrella, including Sana Emotions (high-end aromatic candles) and FES (industrial and mechanical engineering services).

Financially, MTC is privately held with no public listing, no disclosed revenue, no headcount figures, and no external funding rounds; the parent is registered as an Austrian limited liability company (Firmenbuchnummer FN 117451y) headquartered at Graf Starhemberggasse 37, 1040 Vienna. Strategic emphasis as disclosed by the company centers on being a "highly specialized niche supplier" with flexibility, quick turnaround, and tailor-made customer solutions.
