Allgäu is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Germany. Close to Neuschwanstein Castle, Pfronten is only one of many towns in the area to offer cozy hostels as overnight accommodation. But it is extremely difficult to book a room throughout the entire region during the DMG MORI Open House at the beginning of the year. The success story of the worldwide leading machine tool manufacturer began in 1920 with the merger of five precision engineers. The quintet called its new, aspiring company Maho, which began to produce tool machines for their own use in 1950. They quickly came to the attention of larger companies, who ordered specially customized machines from Maho. In 1970, they therefore began to concentrate solely on this branch of business, acquired Graziano in Italy, went public, merged with Deckel and ultimately became Gildemeister in 1994 – today they are DMG MORI.

With around 1,500 employees and a total area of 149,000 m², Pfronten is one of the most important development and largest production plants of DMG MORI in Europe. As a milling expert, the factory alone produces 50 different types of machines from the versatile monoBLOCK series up to the XXL machines. Pfronten offers the capacity for around 1,500 machines to leave the factory every year for global distribution. The company DMG MORI Ultrasonic Lasertec GmbH is also located in Pfronten, and is responsible for advanced technologies in the group. The subsidiary company develops and builds its LASERTEC machines for high-precision applications in the field of laser texturing and drilling in Pfronten. DMG MORI Ultrasonic Lasertec GmbH sets the standard in additive manufacturing of metallic components with the LASERTEC 3D series.

Technology excellence for a unique customer experience

DMG MORI operates two Technology Excellence Centers for Aerospace and Die & Mold in Pfronten. Certified application technicians and engineers work there together with customers at a very early stage of a project to develop optimal manufacturing solutions. This close partnership promotes knowledge acquisition, and this new-found expertise can then be applied to future projects.

DECKEL MAHO Pfronten consists of many individual production areas, the two newest of which are the monoBLOCK Excellence Factory and the XXL Factory

The 5-axis machines in portal and gantry designs generate maximum stability and precision with the highest dynamics. Large traverses and high maximum table loads of up to 150 tonnes make it possible to machine workpieces for a wide range of universal applications. The thermal control concept produces maximum precision even in unfavourable ambient temperatures. The dual-table configuration allows the operator to be highly flexible and productive.
