German special machine builder founded 1991 in Lederhose; 100 employees serving automation, production service, and cleanroom solutions.
mkf GmbH is a German special machine builder and system integrator founded on October 1, 1991, headquartered in Lederhose, Thuringia, Germany. The company operates from a 2,700 m² production facility that includes a 120 m² cleanroom certified to DIN EN ISO 14644-1 Class 6. With approximately 100 employees on site, mkf develops and implements custom plant concepts spanning the full product lifecycle: from initial product idea and engineering design, through in-house parts production and system assembly, to comprehensive after-sales service.
mkf's business is organized into three core areas. The Automation Solutions division designs and builds complex special machines, modular plant concepts, and fully automated production lines. Tasks handled include assembly, handling, welding, testing, labeling, marking, and gluing operations. The company is also an authorized Universal Robots partner and integrates collaborative robots (cobots) — such as the UR5e — into semi-automated and fully automated inline processes. One notable product is the mkf LiFo Storage System, a standalone cobot cell for flexible parts storage, loading/unloading, component testing, and assembly steps.
The Customized Manufacturing Service division offers contract manufacturing and assembly, orbital welding of pipelines, process and plant optimization, cable assembly, and control cabinet construction. The Technical Cleanliness & Cleanroom division provides consulting per VDA 19 Part 2 and DIN EN ISO 14644-1, cleaning and assembly of components in controlled environments, and supply of custom cleanroom equipment including modular cleanroom enclosures, clean air workstations, and operator desks.
Internally, mkf's quality management system is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 by TÜV Rheinland Cert GmbH. Customers come from a wide range of industries including automotive, medical technology, optics, and electronics manufacturing.
