MPG

What MPG does

MPG is a German specialty metalworking manufacturer of seamless precision tubes and heat exchanger components produced exclusively from copper and copper alloys (special brass, copper-nickel, aluminium bronze). The company traces its origin to hde Metallwerk GmbH founded in 1870 and operates today from a single manufacturing site in Menden, Sauerland (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany), through two parallel private limited companies — MPG Mendener Präzisionsrohr GmbH and MPG Wärmetechnik GmbH — under common owner-management led by Managing Director Dr. Andreas Gahl. Approximately 145 employees run a fully integrated process chain spanning in-house foundry and alloy development, extrusion, rolling, cold-drawing (drum, continuous, and straight), finishing, and quality assurance, producing its own alloy formulations rather than sourcing external melt.

The product portfolio comprises heat exchanger tubes (6-108 mm diameter, 0.3-9 mm wall, up to 25,000 mm length), finned tubes (standard Rippenrohre Type N/M plus the proprietary HCI Hochleistungs-Rippenrohre with 3D fin structure and Drallrohre corrugated/swirl tubes for enhanced turbulence), bimetallic and safety double-wall tubes (with leak-monitoring capability for hazardous media), heat exchanger components (coils, finned-tube packages, pre-assembled heat exchangers), and semi-finished products (forging-quality copper-alloy rods 10-347 mm). TÜV certification, ISO 14001 (since 2009), ISO 50001 (since 2011), and a 2023 EMAS pilot underpin compliance claims; alloys are produced to DIN/EN/ASTM standards including UNS C44300, C68700, C70600, C7060X (EEMUA), C71500, C71640, and C60800. Notable proprietary technology includes HCI 3D high-performance finned tubes that minimize laminar boundary layer thickness and enable refrigerant/material reduction, and a 2022-launched take-back program for all delivered products aimed at closed-loop recycling.

The revenue model is direct B2B hardware sales with quote-based pricing dependent on alloy, dimensions, quantity, and specifications; there are no intermediaries, resellers, or marketplace channels. GTM is enterprise field sales executed by named international account managers (Alexander Döringhoff, Marcel Ernst, Hamse Naassan, Roland Will), dedicated DACH coverage (Martina Spiekermann-Müller for domestic and automotive), and a heat-exchanger-component specialist (Aylin Bodur). Customer segments span power plant and industrial plant engineering, shipbuilding (seawater desalination, marine coolers), automotive (piston liners, cone rings, synchronous rings), heating and climate technology, instrument engineering, and international pipe traders, with end-customer reach documented across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United States, China, Korea, Japan, India, Brazil, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Approximately 60% GHG reduction has been achieved since a 2017 baseline, with a 2030 Scope 1+2 neutrality target and a 75% Scope 3 reduction target supported by ongoing PV expansion (totaling ~1,230 kWp across three systems) and the Mendener Energienetzwerk collaboration.

Revenue model

1. Heat Exchanger Tubes and Components: Primary revenue from manufacturing and selling precision seamless tubes in copper alloys, including heat exchanger tubes, finned tubes, HCI high-performance finned tubes, corrugated tubes, and bimetallic tubes. Also includes heat exchanger components (coils, finned tube packages, pre-assembled heat exchangers). Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales with delivery of physical products.
2. Semi-finished Products: Production and sale of semi-finished products including rods in various copper alloys in forging quality, and extruded/drawn tubes with excellent mechanical properties for further processing by customers.
3. Scrap Purchase and Return Programs: Purchase of production and product scrap (copper, brass, copper-nickel alloys) from customers. Take-back program for all delivered products for recycling. This creates a circular economy loop where scrap is credited to customer metal accounts.

Core offering

MPG manufactures seamless precision tubes made from special brass and copper-nickel alloys, producing heat exchanger tubes, finned tubes (Type N/M and HCI high-performance), corrugated and swirl tubes, bimetallic tubes, and supporting heat exchanger components. The products are sold to industrial customers in power plant engineering, shipbuilding, automotive, HVAC/refrigeration, and seawater desalination. MPG also buys back tube scrap to feed its raw material base.

Product overview

MPG is a specialized manufacturer of seamless precision tubes and heat exchanger components made primarily from copper and copper alloys. The product portfolio centers on eight core offerings: heat exchanger tubes (including high-performance variants), finned tubes (standard N/M types and HCI high-performance variants), corrugated/swirl tubes, bimetallic and safety double tubes, heat exchanger components (coils, packages, pre-assembled units), semi-finished products (rods and pressed/drawn tubes), and a scrap purchase/recycling service. All products are manufactured in-house at the Menden, Germany facility, with the company producing its own copper alloys rather than sourcing them externally. The integrated offering enables customers to source both tube products and finished heat exchanger components from a single manufacturer, supported by a take-back program for circular economy purposes.
