Revenue model

1. Custom Precision Hot-Pressed Non-Ferrous Metal Parts: The company manufactures custom hot-pressed parts (Hohlpressteile and Massivpressteile) from brass, copper, and aluminium to customer specifications (drawings, patterns, data sets). Revenue is generated through project-based manufacturing contracts with industrial customers. The full service includes engineering consultation, CAD design, tool making, prototyping, and serial production — all billed as part of the manufacturing contract. Pricing is quote-based ('nach Vereinbarung'), indicating a project-based pricing model.

Core offering

Metallpresswerk Hohenlimburg GmbH (MPH) manufactures custom warm-pressed (hot-formed) components from non-ferrous metals — brass, copper, and aluminium — supplied as hollow forged parts up to ~5,000g and solid forged parts up to 20kg. The company delivers a complete single-source service covering technical consultation, CAD-based component development, tool making, prototyping, and serial production, with in-house heat treatment and robotic finishing, serving industrial customers across Europe.

Product overview

Metallpresswerk Hohenlimburg GmbH (MPH) is a manufacturer of precision hot-pressed non-ferrous metal components, operating as a family-owned company with over 40 years of experience. The company produces a comprehensive portfolio of warm-pressed parts from brass, copper, and aluminum, ranging from small batches to large-scale production. The core product offering consists of hollow forged parts (Hohlpressteile up to ~5,000g) and solid forged parts (Massivpressteile up to 20kg/30kg), manufactured on specialized equipment including 5 spindle presses (300–1,700t), 6 hollow presses (300–550t), and eccentric presses. Beyond manufacturing, MPH provides integrated services including technical consulting, CAD-based component development, and heat treatment. The company has recently expanded into sustainable zinc wrought alloy fittings through the ECO-Zinc research project. The product range is organized by material type (brass, copper, aluminum), each with specific alloy compositions for different applications.

Products and services

• Warm-Pressed Non-Ferrous Metal Parts Custom hot-formed components (Hohlpressteile and Massivpressteile) manufactured from brass, copper, or aluminium to customer-supplied drawings, data sets, or samples. Hollow parts up to ~5,000g and solid parts up to 20 kg, produced from small series to large-scale serial production for industrial buyers in sanitary/plumbing/heating, electrical, automotive/transportation, and general manufacturing.
• Copper Warm-Pressed Parts (Kupfer Warmpressteile) Hot-pressed copper components offered in Cu-ETP, Cu-OF, and CuNi1Si variants, with piece weights from 10 g to ~6,000 g, engineered for high electrical and thermal conductivity in electrical-industry applications.
• Brass Warm-Pressed Parts (Messing Warmpressteile) Hot-pressed brass components across lead-free (CuZn21Si3P, CuZn38As), lead-reduced (CuZn42), and lead-containing (CuZn40Pb2, CuZn39Pb3) alloys, with piece weights from 2 g to ~9,000 g for fittings, valves, and connectors, including drinking-water-approved variants.
• Aluminium Warm-Pressed Parts (Aluminium Warmpressteile) Hot-pressed aluminium components in wrought alloys such as AlSi1MgMn (EN AW 6082) and AlMgSi (EN AW 6060), with piece weights from 3 g to ~3,500 g, offering lightweight, weldable, corrosion-resistant solutions with near-net-shape geometry for transportation and industrial applications.
• ECO-Zinc Fittings (lead-free zinc wrought-alloy fittings) Sustainable lead-free fittings produced from innovative zinc wrought alloys (ZEP), developed under the ECO-Zinc research project for sanitary and heating applications. Offers lower density than brass, lead-free composition, and up to 40% CO₂ reduction compared with conventional brass fittings.
• Technical Consulting & Component Development (Technische Unterstützung / Bauteil-Entwicklung) End-to-end engineering service covering technical consultation from initial project planning through completion, plus CAD-based component construction performed in close coordination with customers to create part data for tool making and series production.
• Heat Treatment (Wärmebehandlung) In-house heat-treatment service using 2 annealing furnaces plus material-dedicated ovens, including special circulating-air ovens for aluminium and chain-belt ovens for small-series production, ensuring metallurgical specifications of warm-pressed parts are met.

• Fachhochschule Südwestfalen (University of Applied Sciences South Westphalia)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerMPH is a partner in the ECO-Zinc research project coordinated by Fachhochschule Südwestfalen. The project aims to develop an energy- and cost-efficient process chain for fittings made from innovative zinc wrought alloys (ZEP). MPH contributes its forming expertise (Umformtechnik) to the development and testing of forging processes, supporting the transition to large-scale serial production. The project is funded by the European Union and the State of North Rhine-Westphalia under the EFRE/JTF Programme NRW 2021–2027.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Aurubis: Europe's largest copper recycler and producer of copper products. Comparable in copper-focused non-ferrous metal value chain serving industrial customers, but operates upstream at smelting/refining scale rather than custom parts manufacturing.
• Wieland Group: Large European copper and brass products manufacturer (rods, tubes, components). Comparable in non-ferrous metal materials and industrial customer base, but operates at much broader scale across semi-finished and finished products rather than custom pressing.
• KME Group: European copper and copper alloy semi-finished product manufacturer (now part of Aurubis). Overlapping customer base in copper-based industrial components, but operates at broader portfolio and scale.

Direct peers

• Otto Fuchs: German non-ferrous metal forging specialist (aluminium, copper, titanium, brass). Closely comparable in warm/hot forging of copper and aluminium alloys for industrial and automotive applications, with overlapping product and process technology.
• Leiber Group: German brass parts manufacturer producing turned and forged brass components for industrial and sanitary applications. Comparable in material focus (brass), process family (warm forming/machining), and customer segments (industrial, plumbing).
• Diehl Metall: German manufacturer of brass and copper semi-finished products and components for industrial applications. Directly comparable as a German non-ferrous metal parts manufacturer serving similar industrial and sanitary customers, though at significantly larger scale.

Others

• Schuler AG: German manufacturer of metal forming presses and automated press lines, including forging and stamping systems. Comparable as a peer in the metal forming/pressing ecosystem, but operates as an equipment supplier to MPH rather than a parts manufacturer.
