What B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt does

B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt operates commercially as Münz-Prägstatt GmbH, a privately held German GmbH headquartered in Karlsfeld bei München and led by Managing Directors Alexander Wegner and Marina Wegner. The company is part of a multi-entity group (MPM Group) that delivers a vertically integrated suite of precious metals and minting services, comprising four interconnected lines of business: (1) Münz-Prägstatt GmbH's core coin and medal minting, using modern presses and high-quality metals with handcrafted finishing steps including annealing, brushing, polishing, sandblasting, coining, and deburring; (2) aurumX GmbH, which recovers gold, silver, and other precious metals from coins, jewelry, and dental gold for industrial clients, refineries, goldsmiths, and precious metal buyers; (3) MPM Service GmbH, providing metal processing services such as annealing, casting, forming, rolling, and stamping of semi-finished products using rolling mills and continuous furnaces; and (4) an in-house CNC deburring department performing precision CNC turning and milling for single-piece and small-series production, programmed via Autodesk FeatureCAM or comparable CAD/CAM software.

The underlying technology stack is centered on traditional precision manufacturing and metalworking rather than digital or AI-driven systems, including CNC machining, CAD/CAM programming, EDM wire cutting, and conventional metalworking processes (gliding, rolling, pressing, deburring). The customers served are B2B mid-market and enterprise buyers across assay offices, mid-size industrial companies, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, and precious metal traders, with a primary customer concentration in German-speaking regional markets (Bavaria).

The business model is sales-led B2B with quote-based, project-based pricing for custom coin and medal orders rather than a standardized catalog. Revenue mechanics depend on order complexity, materials (noble and non-noble metals), and quantities. The company complies with the Geldwäschegesetz (German Anti-Money Laundering Act) and Edelmetallhandel regulations relevant to precious metals handling. Operational footprint is a single production facility at Einsteinstraße 1, 85757 Karlsfeld, with approximately 7 employees currently on staff and 5 open positions across production, sales, and facilities roles, indicating active capacity expansion. Limited marketing channels are evident; customer acquisition is conducted through direct sales relationships supported by internal sales staff.
