Kronach, November 2023: The renowned company MB Stahltechnik, a steel trading company based in Selb, Upper Franconia, has strategically opted for a partnership with Hans Weber Maschinenfabrik. This collaboration not only promises a synergy of top-notch expertise and extensive experience but also a shared commitment to the highest quality standards in the steel industry. The combined expertise of both companies strengthens MB Stahltechnik's position and opens up new opportunities for innovative developments and forward-thinking projects in the field of steel processing.

MB Stahltechnik, located in Selb, Upper Franconia, successfully employs a WEBER metal grinding machine of the MK type in its production. As a full-service provider in the steel sector, the company employs around 50 people, serving customers ranging from metal builders and machine manufacturers to steel construction companies and locksmiths. Founded approximately 20 years ago, MB Stahltechnik GmbH has been part of the well-known Köstner corporate group for about four years. The company primarily engages in wholesale trade with customers from the craft and industrial sectors. The product range is extensive, covering steel trade, sanitary products, building services, as well as machinery and tools – the group's offering leaves almost nothing to be desired. The motto of the corporate group is: "We keep businesses running."

MB Stahltechnik operates in steel trading and serves as the center for flame cutting in the Köstner group. "We are particularly proud of the past 2.5 years," explains Martin Willmann, Head of Warehouse + Production at MB Stahltechnik. "We were able to implement numerous optimizations, making work processes more organized, coordinated, secure, clean, and efficient. The use of the WEBER metal grinding machine of the MK type has also contributed to this."

The WEBER metal grinding machine of the MK type is a crucial part of the production line at MB Stahltechnik and is exclusively used for deburring. "Due to the high quality and reliability of the machines, we chose WEBER," says Daniel Matthes, Team Leader Work Preparation Flame Cutting at the steel technology company. Since the introduction of the machine, MB Stahltechnik has recorded shorter processing times. This has made the work easier for employees and requires less physical effort.

The process begins with autogenous or plasma cutting, followed by grinding machines, and finally packaging or sandblasting. MB Stahltechnik is highly satisfied with WEBER and emphasizes the excellent customer service of the company. Many concerns can be addressed over the phone, and if an on-site visit is required, it is promptly arranged.

Decision-makers at MB Stahltechnik appreciate the successful collaboration with WEBER and look forward to further developing their partnership to optimize their manufacturing processes. The next step involves focusing on a robotic system for loading and unloading in addition to the metal grinding machine, in the WEBER automation segment.
