Mühlbauer Parts & Systems

What Mühlbauer Parts & Systems does

Mühlbauer Parts & Systems (MPS) is a privately held German precision parts manufacturer headquartered in Roding, Bavaria, operating as the production backbone of the Mühlbauer Group. Founded in 1981 by Josef Mühlbauer from a single lathe, MPS today spans four legal entities (MPS Roding GmbH, MBO GmbH, MPS Stollberg GmbH, and Mühlbauer Technologies s.r.o. in Nitra, Slovakia) across three production sites covering more than 30,000m² and employing over 1,000 people. The company delivers a one-stop-shop manufacturing proposition: OEM solutions (development, industrialization, production and distribution from a single source), individual and series production (3- to 7-axis CNC milling and turning-milling, sheet-metal processing, welding certified to EN 15085-2 CL2, wire and die-sinking EDM with ±0.002mm tolerance, grinding and assembly), in-house surface technology through its subsidiary MBO GmbH, ISO Class 7 clean-room assembly, and R&D support including prototyping and documentation.

MPS serves enterprise OEMs across at least seven verticals — aerospace (landing gear, satellite and launcher structural parts), medical technology (clean-room sub-assemblies and devices), semiconductor (ESD-coated cladding, high-precision sub-assemblies), railway and new mobility (light rail, metros, high-speed trains, electric buses), defense and security (border-control systems, comms components), environmental and energy technology (air-filter and waste-gas-purification modules, wind-turbine components), and filling-and-packaging (conveyor components, cladding, deep-drawn moulds), plus general mechanical engineering. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct engagement, single point of contact, project purchasing optimization, framework agreements, consignment stock, and just-in-time delivery, supported by an in-house fleet and air-freight capability through the parent's 24-country distribution network.

The business model is predominantly contract manufacturing under quote-based, project-tiered pricing with multi-year framework agreements; the company highlights express production available from 24 hours and 80% of standard materials kept on hand from a €6M raw-material warehouse. MPS does not disclose revenue or order-book figures; it is part of the privately held Mühlbauer Group, a family-controlled conglomerate with four business divisions (TECURITY, AUTOMATION, ATECH, Parts & Systems) and more than 3,500 employees worldwide.
