M-PT Celebrates its 30th Anniversary

Selling a product off the shelf is easy. However, most industrial applications are not. Bolting connections are sometimes very difficult to achieve due to the tight installation space. Sometimes there are high requirements with regard to the tightening process as well. In addition, documentation and archiving of the bolting data is often required for reasons of liability or internal quality assurance. The M-PT team is well acquainted with a wide range of individual bolting cases and customer applications in high-torque bolting technology.

Just recently M-PT celebrated its 30th anniversary. Thanks to Mr. Michael Matjeschk, the founder and namesake of the company. Over 100 customers, suppliers and business partners accepted the invitation. Top-class presentations were given by Roger Romard (RAD Torque Systems Canada), Dr. Stefan Beyer (German Screw Association e.V.), the well-known screw expert Markus Fischer (SCS Concept Group) and M-PT’s loyal customer Prof. Verwiebe (VERWIEBE Engineering). These lectures were accompanied by live Sorbian music and other presentations on the life of the Sorbs, a recognized national minority in the rural area of M-PT. Charming and idyllic for every guest, who was greeted by three little girls in traditional Sorbian dress with bread and salt at the M-PT company anniversary.

The occasion for the big event was also the grand opening and first tour of the expanded production facility. This includes a large training center with space for 25 people to learn the theory and practice of safe and correct handling of bolting technology. The employees benefit from new office space for sales, design and development. But the customer also benefits, as internal consultations can be carried out even faster and more effectively door to door.

It was a special honor for M-PT to welcome the Director of Sales of RAD Torque Systems from Canada. Roger Romard not only manages the international sales of RAD bolting technology, but also all official RAD service centers worldwide. This is a great added value for the customer. For example, if the customer sends their bolting tools to one of their locations abroad for a major project, the bolting tools can also be professionally checked and calibrated there and repairs can be carried out if necessary. All international RAD service centers receive regular training and are therefore qualified to carry out calibrations on a RAD torque wrench.

Founder Michael Matjeschk and managing director Carmen hebestreit both agree on that: “Bolting technology is fun and has a lot of potential. We still have so many ideas for further developments. It will be exciting and we are looking forward to it.”
