Mayer and CO Beschläge GmbH

What Mayer and CO Beschläge GmbH does

Mayer & Co Beschläge GmbH, trading as MACO, is a privately held Austrian manufacturer of window, door, and sliding hardware systems founded in 1947 and headquartered at Alpenstraße 173, 5020 Salzburg, Austria. The company employs 51-100 people and runs a multi-line product architecture covering three hardware pillars — window systems (turn-tilt mechanisms including Multi Matic IQ, Multi Power and Multi Mammut, plus outward-opening and various system components), sliding systems (lift-slide, slide-tilt, parallel-slide formats with components such as Move Comfort Drive, Emotion, and Adapta), and door systems (Instinct by MACO, Protect M-TS and A-TS security hardware, ProDoor, OpenDoor) — augmented by an intelligent sensor layer (Sense by MACO, MACO Tronic) for monitoring, status detection, and smart-building/smart-home integration. Technical differentiation is centered on precision mechanical engineering, self-adjusting locking elements that reduce installation time, and the introduction of electronic sensing on top of the mechanical core.

MACO generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware component sales to window and door manufacturers and, indirectly through them, to the broader building and construction industry including renovation projects. Distribution is executed via a network of country-specific sales operations across Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Croatia, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and North America, with each market served through a localized country website and supported by the MACO Partner Portal. The November 2025 launch of eCat, a mobile-optimized digital product catalog that replaced the legacy TOM product information system, extends this B2B channel infrastructure. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is managed through direct partner relationships; the company is Quality Austria and IQNet certified, has published a Zukunftsbericht 2024/25 sustainability report, and in May 2026 received the German Innovation Award in Gold and the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026 for the Sense by MACO sensor platform.
