History
The Maag Group exists in its present form only since 2010 and is not able to look back on long company history yet. However, the two merger partners Automatik Plastics Machinery and Maag Pump Systems bring both a wealth of knowledge and years of experience. Both have achieved much in the past but want to achieve even more together in the future.
