Maus

What Maus does

Maus is an industrial machinery brand specializing in automatic grinding, vertical turning, and robotized foundry automation. Originally founded in 1986 as a special machines division within Carraro Group SpA in Italy and operating independently from 1994, the brand has been owned by the German engineering company Reichmann & Sohn GmbH (Weissenhorn, founded 1918) since July 2021, following a court-approved 5-year restructuring plan issued in 2019. The product portfolio is organized around three technology families: 5-axis NC automatic grinding centers (MAUS 600, MAUS 900 TL, MAUS 1400, MAUS 2200, plus the SAM 300/600/1200 CN series and the Readygrind entry-level platform), robotized grinding cells with integrated 2D vision and laser measurement (SAM robo gp/gb/lgp/lgb up to SAM 2600 robo for 1,000kg parts), and CNC vertical turning lathes (MTV 328 EP through MTV 7 PC). The complementary Fritz Hansberg sub-brand, acquired in 2015, supplies hydropneumatic, hydraulic, and hot-box core shooting machines (SPC and H series with capacities from 15L to 350L) for foundry core production. Tailor-made special-purpose machines for individual line layouts, such as the documented Daimler reference, complete the offering.

The company operates a direct enterprise sales model targeting foundries globally, with quote-based pricing on capital equipment and turn-key delivery covering initial consulting, process analysis, development, implementation, and after-sales service. Customer coverage spans 11 industrial verticals - automotive (engine blocks, crankshafts, brake discs, hubs, drum brakes, camshafts, exhaust manifolds) as the primary segment, followed by railway, steel, non-ferrous metals, mining, earth-moving machinery, light and heavy-duty vehicles, municipal infrastructure, green energy, aerospace, and oil and gas. Marketing is conducted via LinkedIn, industry trade shows such as GIFA, and downloadable PDF brochures, consistent with a consultative B2B heavy-machinery go-to-market motion.

The firm has no disclosed revenue, operates privately as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reichmann & Sohn GmbH with general management led by Stefan Reichmann, and has no venture capital or public shareholders. Key knowledge boundaries include undisclosed headcount, order book, utilization, and any pricing or margin detail.

Core offering

Maus designs and manufactures automatic CNC grinding centres, vertical turning lathes, robotized grinding cells, and core shooting machines for foundries worldwide. The product range covers processing of cast parts from 10 kg up to 10,000 kg in iron, steel, brass, copper, and aluminium, with flagship 5-axis NC technology (MAUS 600 line) and complementary Fritz Hansberg core making equipment acquired in 2015. Solutions are sold directly to foundries and industrial manufacturers across automotive, mining, oil & gas, railway, aerospace, and renewable energy sectors.

Product overview

Maus is an industrial machinery company specializing in automatic foundry equipment. The product portfolio is organized around three main brand categories: MAUS (automatic grinding centers and vertical lathes), Fritz Hansberg (core making and molding equipment from acquired brand), and Reichmann (casting finishing systems). The MAUS 600 product line represents the flagship automatic grinding centers available in multiple sizes (MAUS 600, 900 TL, 1400, 2200) for processing castings from 100kg to 1,000kg. Supporting products include SAM CNC machines (SAM 300 CN, SAM 600 CN, SAM 1200 CN, Readygrind) for various grinding requirements, robotic cells for automated loading/unloading (SAM robo series), vertical lathes (MTV series), and core shooting machines (SPC and H series). The company also offers tailor-made custom solutions for specific foundry needs.
