Dieter Marx, a toolmaker, gained many years of experience in sales of high-quality Swiss precision measuring instruments and tools.
This increased his awareness of the need for reliable precision manufacturing equipment in industry. The focus was always on independence and customer service. Implementation was only a matter of time.
Since 1970 Dieter Marx, the founder of MPM (own entity since 1983), has been a pioneer of automatic balancing systems for precision grinding machines.
Since 1985, Peter Michna has been actively and successfully strengthening the demonstration and sales of the systems.
The step out of the "cellar office" took place in 1988 with the construction of the new plant in Erlangen-Frauenaurach.
Manfred Marx, the next generation, joined the company in 1989. This set the course for the future and created the interface for the use of state-of-the-art technology in the information age.
