MACO Door & Window Hardware (UK) Limited

What MACO Door & Window Hardware (UK) Limited does

MACO Door & Window Hardware (UK) Limited is the wholly-owned British subsidiary of the Austrian family-owned Mayer & Co Beschläge GmbH, headquartered in Salzburg. Established in the UK in 1986 and now based at the Eurolink Industrial Centre in Sittingbourne, Kent, the subsidiary serves as the primary sales, logistics, and technical support channel for the British market. It operates a logistics centre with capacity for approximately 5,000 pallets alongside test and training rooms, and is led by Managing Director Kevin Whiting, who also covers North America.

The business supplies window and door hardware built around proprietary technology platforms, including the MACO Multi Matic tilt-and-turn system with the self-adjusting i.S. cam IQ, 3-latch multi-point locking systems, the motorised MACO Protect M-TS (0.3-second unlocking, RC 3 burglary rating), the Instinct by MACO key-free lock, and the Sense by MACO wireless sensor family using the Matter smart-home standard alongside EnOcean-based MACO Tronic sensors. Most production occurs in-house at Austrian facilities in Salzburg, Trieben, and Mauterndorf, with a Gliwice assembly plant in Poland; the 2018 acquisition of HAUTAU GmbH, fully integrated by 2023, broadened the portfolio to what the group describes as the industry's widest building hardware range.

Revenue is generated through B2B hardware sales to window and door fabricators, installers, and building industry professionals, supplemented by assembly tools and digital services such as the eCat product catalogue and Partner Portal. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The UK subsidiary is one of 14+ sales entities in the MACO Group, which also covers Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, France, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Switzerland, and Brazil.
