MCT BRATTBERG Vertriebs-GmbH

Cable and pipe sealing to the highest safety requirements

The MCT Brattberg system is a modular cable and pipe transit developed to the most stringent requirements for fire protection (DIN 4102-9), pressure tightness, gas tightness, explosion protection and EMC. At its core it consists of two components – a frame and the packing and filler pieces – which together form a multifunctional seal through the generated compression pressure. The original manufacturing takes place at MCT Brattberg AB in Karlskrona (Sweden); MCT BRATTBERG Vertriebs-GmbH, based in Messel, is the official sales partner for the German-speaking region and offers frame supply, accessories as well as professional final installation by trained personnel. The range of services includes standard, EMC and ATEX special versions, tender support including the preparation of tender texts, and the web-based configuration software RGPlan for specialist planners. Depending on requirements, frames are available with anti-corrosion primer, hot-dip galvanized, or made of stainless steel V2A/V4A or aluminium. References include Amprion, Tennet, Gasunie, TAL, Uniper, BMW, NATO Air Base Wittmund, WNA Kiel Canal, DLR and Bayerischer Rundfunk. The system is used in the energy industry, shipbuilding, offshore, the automotive industry, waterways, research and communications.

Certifications & Testing

The management system is certified to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 (DNV) and covers the design, manufacture and delivery of fire-resistant and pressure-tight sealing systems; there are also welding certificates (ISO 3834-2, EN 15085-2) as well as numerous product approvals and tests (e.g. DIN 4102-9 Z-19.15-439 to -442, ATEX, IMO, DNV).

History since 1759

1. 1759

   Lyckeåborg in southern Sweden designated as a site for the construction of a copper hammer.

2. 1945

   After the Second World War the company receives the name Lyckeåborgs Bruk.

3. 1950

   Lyckeåborg becomes the manufacturer of the MCT Brattberg cable and pipe transit (named after inventor Nils Brattberg); specialization in fire-resistant and pressure-tight sealing begins.

4. 1970

   Introduction of the round RGP frame, initially for core-drilled holes in concrete.

5. 1980

   End of nail manufacturing; resources concentrated on MCT Brattberg products.

6. 1986

   Lyckeåborgs Bruk becomes Lycab; introduction of Lycron rubber for insert blocks and of the composite compression plate with integrated compression bolt.

7. 1994

   Pre-greased blocks come onto the market.

8. 1997

   Introduction of the AddBlock (universal block).

9. 1999

   U-blocks and plugs come onto the market; the company becomes MCT Brattberg AB.
