Ms Industrie

What Ms Industrie does

MS Industrie AG is a Munich-headquartered, publicly listed German focused technology group (ticker MSAG, ISIN DE0005855183) operating in two core areas: a 100%-owned Powertrain Technology segment branded MS XTEC, and a 49% strategic participation in MS Ultraschall Technologie GmbH (MS Ultrasonic). MS XTEC develops, constructs and manufactures systems and components for heavy combustion engines and new drive forms serving trucks, ships, construction machinery and stationary drives; its longest-tenured reference program is the valve train supply for the Daimler "Blue Efficiency Power OM 47X" heavy commercial vehicle engine platform, continuous since 2006. MS Ultrasonic offers a full ultrasonic stack including special machines (sonxMAC), series machines (sonxTOP) for welding, sealing, cutting and stamping of films, paper, fabrics, nonwovens and filter materials, and self-developed components such as generators, converters, amplitude transformation pieces and sonotrodes. The group also holds minority interests in Deutsche Elektromotoren Holding (electric motors, since 2020), GCI Management Consulting (20%, since 1991), MR3W Solarpark Leipzig (approximately 10%) and GCI BridgeCapital (100%, leasing a 13.5 ha photovoltaic site in Leipzig/Wiederitzsch).

The business model is direct B2B enterprise sales of custom-engineered industrial components and turnkey machines, with serial-production supply to OEMs and a long product-development cycle that the company supports through in-house prototyping and pre-series construction. Customers are concentrated in commercial vehicles (Daimler), passenger automotive plastics processing, packaging machinery, medical technology and textile/nonwovens, with no disclosed public pricing — quotes are negotiated per specification and volume. The group manufactures in Germany (Spaichingen, Trossingen-Schura, Ettlingen), the United States (Howell, MI; Charlotte, NC from 2025), Brazil (Contagem) and China (Jiangyin), is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and IATF 16949 at its German production sites, and employs approximately 555 people group-wide. Following the 2024 sale of a 51% controlling stake in MS Ultraschall to Schunk Sonosystems, MS XTEC is the explicit strategic focus for organic growth, financed in part by a 2022 corporate bond and supported by a new Charlotte, NC plant inaugurated in September 2025.
