What Macron does

Makron GmbH is a family-owned German Mittelstand precision CNC machining company headquartered in Neutraubling near Regensburg. Founded around 1987 (with a corporate history referenced from 1996) and operating for approximately 30 years, the firm employs more than 50 people at a single manufacturing site and serves six verticals: mechanical engineering (Maschinenbau), aerospace (Luft- und Raumfahrt), medical technology (Medizintechnik), energy and environmental technology (Energie- und Umwelttechnik), the food industry (Lebensmittelindustrie), and a startup program. Aerospace and medical technology are positioned as primary segments; the company holds EN 9100 certification issued by DEKRA and provides AS9102-compliant first-article inspection documentation, signaling qualified supplier status for regulated supply chains.

The core offering is custom CNC manufacturing combining CNC turning (bar processing to Ø75mm, chuck machining to Ø480mm, conventional turning to Ø1,400mm), CNC milling with 5-axis capability and travel paths up to 3,000mm × 800mm × 720mm, and CNC electrical discharge machining (EDM) with a 600mm × 400mm × 310mm work area. The installed machine park uses Mazak and Heidenhain (iTNC530) controllers and achieves reproducible tolerances of 0.001mm on parts ranging from sub-10mm components to 3,000mm workpieces, plates up to 2,000mm × 2,000mm, and diameters up to Ø1,500mm, processing stainless steel, steel, aluminum, titanium, brass and plastics. Adjacent services include surface treatment, final inspection with AS9102 documentation, and a recently launched direct e-commerce line for semifinished materials (Halbzeuge).

Makron operates a sales-led, direct B2B go-to-market: customers submit CAD files or specifications via the website contact and inquiry forms, receive individualized quotes, and place orders for one-off, prototype or series production runs. Fulfillment is direct from the Neutraubling facility, with express delivery available and shipping to European and global customers. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, M&A activity or public listing, and ownership is concentrated within the founding family in line with typical Mittelstand structure. Marketing is conducted through a content-rich website, an active trade show program, and a multi-channel social presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, with TikTok forthcoming), supplemented by a regular newsletter.
