About us
Marsberger Metallguss Gebr. Cordt GmbH (MMG) is a family-owned manufacturer of aluminum cast parts based in Marsberg. Since 1996, the company has been producing aluminum sand casting products, supplemented by die casting, which is currently realized with partners and whose own production is being planned. The entire value chain is in-house: core machining, melting operation with exclusively resistance-heated furnaces, molding, finishing, heat treatment, and mechanical machining by milling and turning. Various aluminum alloys can be cast simultaneously thanks to multiple furnaces. MMG supplies the automotive supplier industry, mechanical and engine construction, electrical and energy industry, factory automation, plant engineering, and construction machinery industry in the German-speaking area. In addition to series production, the company supports customers in product and order development – from the idea through data and drawings to the finished component. Around 80 employees work at the Marsberg site.
