Through continuous product testing and quality control, MACO guarantees consistent excellent performance and surface quality of its products. The Salzburg-based family business produces exclusively in Austria and is committed to quality and sustainability standards. MACO works with certified suppliers and uses tested and selected materials. Intelligent product design, cutting-edge production techniques and inspections, as well as competent and dedicated employees, ensure a high and stable quality. MACO’s certifications according to ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), and OHSAS 18001 (occupational health and safety management) are visible proof of quality. Every MACO-designed part undergoes an initial sample inspection in Salzburg. Functionally important components or assemblies are also qualified for long-term standard performance testing. Purchased parts are randomly inspected as well. Additional internal MACO inspection departments are integrated into the production facilities.

Production technologies are continuously developed and adapted to customer needs. MACO not only manufactures all tools in-house, but also designs and builds most systems and assembly lines to meet current and future MACO requirements. This consolidates company expertise and guarantees short distances and response times. Surface treatment, providing maximum corrosion protection, is one of the company’s core technologies. MACO uses seven surface procedures in its own production, from anodizing and powder coating to TRICOAT-PLUS surface finishing. This unique surface process offers significantly better corrosion protection than electroplated coatings. Continuous refinement of these technologies also impacts plastic processing at MACO. In collaboration with external partners, the company researches and develops new materials and processes to meet future demands. Potential applications are simulated in advance and part geometries are optimized using software. In the field of injection molding technology, MACO is a leader in Austria.
