What MKT does

MKT Metall-Kunststoff-Technik GmbH & Co. KG is a German family-owned manufacturer of fastening systems for concrete and masonry, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Weilerbach, Rhineland-Palatinate. The company produces three core product families: mechanical heavy-duty anchors (Bolzenanker BZ3, BZ plus, B, nail anchors, drive-in anchors, hollow ceiling anchors, concrete screws BSZ), chemical anchor systems (injection mortar systems VMZ, VMH, VMU plus, VME plus, and the bonded VZ with glass cartridge), and light-duty fasteners (nail anchors, ceiling nails, nylon anchors). Production is vertically integrated in Germany using cold-forming technology capable of producing up to 160 anchor blanks per minute, with a newly opened 15,000 m² DGNB Platinum-certified facility in 2025 that operates on approximately 35% self-generated photovoltaic energy. MKT complements its product portfolio with proprietary software (MKT Anchor Design) and a mobile mortar-volume calculator app, providing free design tools to planners and contractors.

MKT sells predominantly through B2B direct sales to professional construction customers (planners, contractors, industrial end-users) worldwide, supported by specialised distributors such as Market-tech (Beijing) Co., Ltd. for China. Its portfolio is backed by over 20 European Technical Assessments (ETAs), including a world-first ETA for a fatigue-rated bolt anchor (BZ3 dyn), 100-year service life approvals (VMH), and certifications covering seismic, fire, and high-strength concrete applications. Pricing is quote-based with a €100 minimum order value and a three-week delivery commitment for catalog-listed products.

The company is controlled by the founding family (Weustenhagen), structured as a German GmbH & Co. KG with MKT-Beteiligungs-GmbH as general partner, and employs over 250 staff. Management transitioned to second-generation leadership in 2015 (Stefan Weustenhagen, Hubert Kaiser). MKT is entirely self-funded, holds ISO 9001/14001/50001/45001 certifications, and has grown through reinvestment rather than external capital or acquisitions.
