Munich is, long-term, our most frequent German destination. In Bayern we have five delivered projects behind us, two directly in Munich and three in its industrial belt — and new waves of demand keep coming whenever Krauss-Maffei or one of the Bavarian injection-moulding customers plans a relocation, retrofit, or production expansion.
Krauss-Maffei — twin projects 2018 and 2019
In Munich we delivered `km-muenchen-demontaz` in 2018 — controlled demolition of a Krauss-Maffei injection-moulding machine at their Munich plant (195 photos in the archive). A year later, in 2019, we returned for the other side of the equation — `km-muenchen-montaz`, assembly of an injection-moulding machine on a new line. These are projects our Bayern team knows by heart — KraussMaffei has its global headquarters in Munich and most of today's injection-moulding retrofit projects are decided here before they're physically executed in Hanover, Köngen, Neureichenau, or at an end customer anywhere in Europe.
For the `industry` pillar (Sondermaschinenbau + injection moulding under the KraussMaffei + Engel + Wittmann technology categories) we're probably the most experienced Slovak supplier here — we've done the full cycle of marking, demolition, heavy-lift logistics, assembly and commissioning. That's work with its own methodology — from photographing every valve before demolition, through RFID-tagged caching of reused parts, to final pressure testing of the hydraulic side.
BMW Group, Siemens AG — headquarters, not supplier chains in BA
BMW Group in Munich-Milbertshofen is not only a production centre (i-series EV, i7, iX) but also a global headquarters with the FIZ R&D complex. Siemens AG has its global headquarters in Munich-Perlach. Both are a different type of client than an automotive Tier-1 firm — in Munich the decisions are made, the drawings done, the specs written, the audits carried out. The projects themselves are often physically executed abroad. For us, that means the Munich client can send us to Shanghai or Texas, not necessarily 5 km from their office. That's a reality our posted-worker A1 logistics can adapt to.
Bayern as a whole — vacuum-mechatronic-de and Rehau Feuchtwangen
In 2019 we delivered `rehau-feuchtwangen` in lower Bayern (Feuchtwangen) — assembly of a Krauss-Maffei 3200-17200 MX machine in Rehau's injection-moulding production. That was exactly the kind of node we like to work in Bayern: a KraussMaffei machine (Munich origin), German end customer (Rehau, Erlangen-based), our assembly and commissioning in the lower-Bavarian plant. In the same year we delivered `km-neureichenau-montaz` in Neureichenau (Bayerwald, close to the Austrian border) — another KraussMaffei assembly.
In 2023 we delivered `vacuum-mechatronic-de` at an anonymous Bavarian site (NDA — hence no specific municipality in the project listing) — HV/UHV vacuum chambers for the semiconductor industry. This project is our most important reference for the Saxon semiconductor cluster (Dresden) — vacuum engineering at EUV-relevant cleanliness levels.
MAN, Infineon, Bayerwerk Linde — where we get asked less in Munich
MAN Energy Solutions (turbines and compressors) plus Infineon Neubiberg (silicon power semis) are typologically close to our references, but they're a segment where dominant integrators are long-established (Siemens Energy at MAN, Infineon has its own specialised supplier chains for clean manufacturing). For edge tasks in their admin or IT zones we're deliverable; for core fab work (front-end or back-end of line) we're not the right profile.
Infineon Neubiberg complements Infineon Dresden as silicon power-semi production in Bayern. For `industry + automation` (Sondermaschinenbau for back-end of line, ATEX zones around wet chemical processes, robotic integration) we're typologically close via the `vacuum-mechatronic-de` reference, but competition in Bayern is dense — Asys Group, Manz Automation and other specialised semiconductor integrators. For smaller Tier-2 demand waves (administrative fit-outs, IT cabling in R&D zones) we're reachable through our injection and assembly references.
BayBO + BetrSichV + DGUV V3
Building decisions in Bayern follow Bayerische Bauordnung (BayBO) — with its own specifics versus other Bundesländer, particularly around the protection of Bavarian architectural tradition and fire-safety rules for industrial halls. Electrical installations follow VDE 0100, inspections DGUV V3, operational safety BetrSichV. For Krauss-Maffei and similar end customers, every integrator must deliver an inspection report signed by a certified German electrician or present the equivalent under the Slovak regime with notification via the Mindestlohn portal.
Conclusion — Munich is our home cross-border base
Munich is roughly 9 hours from Prešov by D1 / A4 / A8. For most Munich projects we work on a reserve with accommodation for 1–2 weeks. Our strongest Munich reference is the relationship with KraussMaffei and the orbit of their supplier chain — for this type of contract we can mobilise within five working days with full A1 documentation and our own tools for both demolition and assembly.
