What mah-ATN does

mah-ATN GmbH is a German B2B manufacturer and direct supplier of upholstery and surface materials headquartered in Haar, Germany. The company sells vegan/artificial leather, genuine leather, object fabrics, automotive textiles, cork materials, marine fabrics, carpets, films, and accessories to customers in the automotive/mobility, marine, medical/healthcare, contract/hospitality, and interior design sectors. Its product portfolio spans over 1,300 vegan leather options, more than 300 leather colors, and approximately 1,500 original fabric patterns, with notable proprietary technologies including the Cleanness collection (phthalate-free, antibacterial, antiviral surface lacquer certified to ISO 18184) and the Ecovyn sustainable vegan leather line.

The company operates under a private limited company (GmbH) structure with 101-250 employees and traces its corporate lineage to a founding entity established in 1810. The current mah-ATN GmbH legal entity was formed in 2022 from the merger of Münchner Autostoffhandel and ATN-Vinyl under managing director Mercia Gottlieb, who acquired the business in 2010. Corporate expansion in 2023-2024 added three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Manufaktur ATN GmbH (custom vegan leather with PU foam backing), ATN GmbH, and ATN Middle East (regional market entity).

Revenue is generated through one-time B2B sales of materials from cut-to-order to bulk deliveries, supplemented by custom production runs and a sample-ordering service. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales plus inside sales, supported by a self-service e-commerce storefront at mah.de, trade show presence (Heimtextil 2025), and email/newsletter marketing. ISO 9001 certification was achieved in December 2025, and a new larger headquarters opened in Haar the same month, replacing the prior Baierbrunn location used since 1991. Pricing is quote-based and ex-warehouse with no public price list; revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
