What MVI Proplant does

MVI Proplant s.r.o. is a Bratislava-headquartered industrial engineering company that delivers project execution and automation services to automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers across the DACH and Central and Eastern Europe regions. The company operates as a private limited liability company (s.r.o.) under the Munich-based Kiss family group (Münchener-Unternehmensgruppe der Familie Kiss), established in 1968. Its service portfolio spans industrial project execution (project management, site management, commissioning, ramp-up to SOP), plant relocations from DACH to CEE within tight shutdown windows, automation and control engineering (PLC, HMI, SCADA, robotics integration, retrofits), battery manufacturing industrialization and qualification, and production & logistics engineering. Project durations range from weeks to multi-month engagements, with services delivered on-site at customer facilities by deployed teams.

The company's product portfolio consists of custom-manufactured industrial equipment and tooling — EURO-Greifer (grippers), Schweißvorrichtungen (welding fixtures), Roboterschweißzangen C/X (robot welding guns), HIP/RIP (hanging and positioning systems), Schutzzäune/Schutztore (safety fences and gates), and Stahlbau (steel construction) — produced at the company's 1,500 sqm Stupava production facility equipped with three FARO Tracker 3D measurement systems and two welding gun test benches. The facility is ISO 9001 certified and TISAX® assessed, satisfying OEM supply chain requirements.

MVI Proplant monetizes through two streams: (1) professional services on a project-contract basis with senior specialist deployment, and (2) hardware sales of custom tooling and equipment. Pricing is per-project and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales targeting senior procurement and engineering contacts at OEMs (VW, Porsche, MAN, Volvo, Škoda, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) and Tier-1 suppliers (Bosch Rexroth, Siemens, ABB, ThyssenKrupp, Dürr), with lead capture through a multi-language website and structured project inquiry form. The company operates without channel partners, resellers, or self-serve mechanisms.
