59 years mk

1966 was an eventful year – and also the year when Hans-Josef Kitz launched his own mechanical engineering company. Starting from a small garage, it rapidly expanded: Initially, Kitz produced machines and components for local businesses, before introducing his first standard conveyor in 1972. Today the mk Technology Group, which evolved from Maschinenbau Kitz GmbH, operates on a global scale and supports its customers in optimizing production processes around the world. The company’s success stems from its distinctive combination of global focus and local roots – as well as its strong family tradition.
