What Maan Engineering does

Maan Engineering is a Netherlands-based industrial engineering company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Raalte, operating as a division of the family-owned Maan Group. The company designs, develops, and manufactures specialized coating equipment built around proprietary PUR (polyurethane reactive) Hotmelt and Silicone Coating technologies. Its product portfolio is organized into two segments: PUR Hotmelt Flat Lamination equipment (roller coaters, drum melters, tank melters, rotary laminating presses, laminating index stations, brush stations) and Roll-to-Roll Label Coating Equipment (unwind/rewind stations, hotmelt and silicone coating stations, melting equipment). These components are configured into complete production lines serving the building and construction (floors, doors, construction panels), automotive and transportation (rubber panels, transport floors), textile and furniture (foam panels, mattresses), agriculture (filter and drainage mats), and label industry (label converters, printers, POS) markets.

The underlying technology stack includes oil-heated coating rollers, variably adjustable seals for glue savings, a melt-on-demand drum melter principle that limits adhesive degradation, dual-zone melt chambers, web tension and edge control systems, Ingromat antistatic brush contamination removal, and a proprietary HYBRID technology that combines coating and converting into a single line. Notable production-line outputs include a fully-automatic floor panel line rated at up to 1,500 m² of flooring per hour and roller coater speeds of 3–30 m/min. The company sells custom-configured equipment and turnkey production line systems on a project basis, complemented by after-sales service and a Remote Engineer support capability.

Maan Engineering monetizes through three revenue streams: coating equipment and component sales, complete production line systems delivered with integration partners and machine manufacturers, and recurring service and maintenance contracts. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with a named sales team (e.g., Remco van der Velde), channel partners LimTeknikk AS (Norway) and AKETA Finland Oy (Finland) for the Nordic market, and integration partners for global turnkey deployments. The company actively participates in industry events including Label Expo Americas, the AWA Linerless Labeling Industry Seminar, and the China Packaging Technology Innovation and Sustainable Development Forum, and provides an ROI calculator on its website to support capital equipment purchase decisions.

Core offering

Maan Engineering develops and manufactures hotmelt coating equipment and complete production lines for two main segments: PUR Hotmelt Flat Lamination (serving building/construction, automotive, textile, and general product assembly markets) and Roll-to-Roll Label Coating Equipment (serving label converters, label printers, and the POS market). The portfolio includes individual machines (Roller Coaters, Drum Melters, Tank Melters, Rotary Laminating Presses, Coating Stations, Brush Stations) and configurable turnkey production lines for floors, doors, construction panels, rubber panels, foam panels, filter/drainage mats, hotmelt coating, linerless labels, and hybrid lamination.

Product overview

Maan Engineering offers two main product segments: PUR Hotmelt Flat Lamination (Sheet-to-Sheet/S2S) and Roll-to-Roll (R2R) Label Coating Equipment. The Flat Lamination portfolio includes Roller Coaters (Top and Double), Drum Melters, Tank Melters, Rotary Laminating Presses, Laminating Index Stations, and Brush Stations, which combine into configurable production lines for floors, doors, construction panels, rubber panels, foam panels, and filter/drainage mats. The Label Coating portfolio includes Unwind Stations, Rewind Stations, Hotmelt Coating Stations, Silicone Coating Stations, Drum Melters, and Tank Melters, which combine into three distinct R2R production lines: the Hotmelt Coating Line (for laminates and self-adhesive base materials on release liner), the Linerless Coating Line (for linerless labels without backing material), and the Hybrid Lamination Coating Line (combining both technologies to enable label producers to apply their own adhesive and silicone).
