MEKU Technologie

What MEKU Technologie does

MEKU Mechatronische Systeme GmbH, operating as MEKU Technologie, is a German precision metal-processing company headquartered in Eching bei Landshut, Bavaria, founded in 1964 and operating as part of the privately held Hechinger Group. The company runs a four-pillar product portfolio: in-house tool making (Werkzeugbau), stamped and drawn metal parts, complex assemblies and sub-systems, and flexible bus bars used in power distribution. Manufacturing capability spans presses up to 100 tons of force, strip widths to 100mm, and minimum thicknesses down to 0.06mm, with annual production measured in millions of stamped parts. The firm holds IATF 16949 certification for automotive supply and ISO 14001 for environmental management, and is led by managing directors Florian Geißler and Markus Duffner.

MEKU serves B2B industrial customers across automotive, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, medical technology, building technology, and aerospace. Revenue is generated through quote-based custom manufacturing of tools, stamped parts, assemblies, and bus bars, with direct field sales (e.g., contact Björn Kammerau) rather than digital channels. The flexible bus bars product line is the company's principal growth vector, positioned for electromobility, fuel cell, and renewable energy power-distribution applications, and is sold alongside the traditional stamping business.

The business model is that of a tier-2/3 Mittelstand component supplier rather than a software or platform business: margins are driven by tooling amortization, scrap/yield, certification-driven access to automotive OEM supply chains, and the ability to co-locate with the Hechinger Group's electronics and plastics operations to deliver integrated assemblies from a single source. Commercial geography is anchored in Germany, with extended manufacturing footprint through the parent group in Hungary, Mexico, and China. AI/automation capability is not disclosed and does not appear to be a current strategic differentiator.
