What maha maschinenbau haldenwang espana does

MAHA Maschinenbau Haldenwang España is the Spanish subsidiary of MAHA SE & Co. KG, a German engineering group founded in 1969 and headquartered in Haldenwang, Bavaria, that manufactures vehicle testing, lifting, and exhaust measurement equipment. The group's product portfolio spans six core technology categories: brake inspection (MBT series), lifting technology (MAPOWER II series with IoT), comprehensive vehicle inspection (MSD series), power measurement (MSR series), exhaust gas measurement (MET series), and headlight alignment (MLT series), with the MAPOWER II platform representing the first IoT-connected workshop lift in the sector. Newer additions MAIA (MAHA Autonomous Inspection Assistant) and MAST target semi-autonomous vehicle testing and ADAS calibration, and are nominated for the Automechanika Innovation Awards 2026.

The company generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales of capital equipment to independent workshops, OEM dealerships, vehicle inspection organizations (PTI), and government/fleet customers, with a secondary recurring stream from IoT/cloud software, spare parts, training, and technical support services. Pricing is quote-based and delivered through a multi-channel go-to-market: 20 wholly-owned subsidiaries provide direct enterprise sales in key markets (Germany, USA, Korea, Spain), while 140 distribution partners cover more than 150 additional countries. With more than 1,000 employees and approximately 100,000 m² of production footprint across Haldenwang and Pinckard (USA), MAHA achieved record group turnover exceeding EUR 160 million in FY 2025/26, a 12% year-over-year increase.

The company is 100% foundation-owned (MAHA Management SE serves as general partner), which provides long-term capital for R&D and global expansion without external shareholders. It has been recognized as World Market Leader in workshop and motor vehicle inspection equipment for three consecutive years (2016-2020) by the University of St. Gallen / WirtschaftsWoche, and has won the iF DESIGN AWARD 2017 (Silver) and INDUSTRIEPREIS 2017. Strategic priorities include scaling ADAS inspection infrastructure (notably the Korea national project), monetizing IoT connectivity across the installed base of more than 430,000 products, and integrating the group-wide SAP ERP system rolled out in FY 2024/25.
