About Krauss Maffei

GermanyEst. 1931

Krauss Maffei traces its roots to 1838, when Joseph Anton von Maffei founded a machine factory in Munich, Germany. The modern company was formally created in 1931 through the merger of Maffei and the rival Munich firm Krauss & Co. After decades as a diversified industrial manufacturer, Krauss Maffei pivoted entirely to plastics and rubber machinery around 2000 following the dissolution of the Mannesmann Group, and in 2016 was acquired by ChemChina, strengthening its global reach.

The injection molding lineup spans hydraulic, all-electric, and hybrid configurations from 500 kN to 60,000 kN. Key series include the CX (fully hydraulic, compact), the GX (hydromechanical dual-platen), the all-electric PX, and the large-tonnage MX, which uses a proprietary hydromechanical dual-platen clamping unit and is recognized as a market leader in large-scale injection molding. On the extrusion side, Krauss Maffei offers single-screw KME extruders and the co-rotating twin-screw ZE BluePower series for compounding, recycling, pipe, profile, and sheet applications. The reaction process machinery division produces the RimStar series of polyurethane metering and mixing machines for high-pressure PU processing.

Krauss Maffei machines serve a wide range of end markets, including automotive interior and exterior components, medical device and healthcare manufacturing, packaging, consumer electronics, construction materials, and thermal insulation. The company's ColorForm process, which combines injection molding with in-mold PU coating, has made it a preferred supplier for high-surface-quality automotive and consumer parts.

Buyers seeking used Krauss Maffei equipment are drawn by the brand's reputation for robust German engineering, long service life, and strong spare-parts availability through a global network of service partners. The MC5 and MC6 touchscreen control systems are well-documented and widely supported, making used machines straightforward to integrate and maintain. Energy-efficient drive technology and high process repeatability mean that pre-owned Krauss Maffei injection molding machines and extruders retain strong resale value and continue to deliver tight tolerances well into their second decade of operation.
