SLINGER, WI

Interested in purchasing MBW Compaction or Concrete Product? * For Utility Product, please Company Profile: Built on Solid Ground of Slinger, WI, began operations 50 years ago with its introduction of a lower maintenance vibratory plate compactor. Today the Company's product line encompasses a full line of soil compaction products, equipment for mixing, vibrating, screeding, finishing and slipforming of concrete, as well as a number of specialty products for construction applications. All MBW products have been designed and manufactured with one mission in mind: To advance the state of the art in product design while providing reliable and reasonable relationships with its customers. That mission began in February of 1967 when two men with extensive backgrounds in mechanical vibration and soil compaction began a business in an unheated contractors shed. Helmut Maass and Frank Multerer Sr. built four vibratory plates at a time. They loaded them into the Multerer family station wagon and Frank would travel to Chicago or other Midwestern cities peddling the machines on a cash-only- sales basis. When those machines were sold, the proceeds were immediately used to build four more plates and Frank would be off on yet another venture. Committed to High Productivity, Low Maintenance As the Company expanded into new areas of product development, it remained true to the approach that made it's first product such a success. Eventually, the following criterion was formalized and applied to all R&D efforts: new products should increase productivity relative to existing products; new products should decrease maintenance relative to existing products; new products should embody design considerations and/or advances in manufacturing methodology directed at reducing the cost of the product; and, By applying these principles, MBW has ensured that it's products provide tangible benefits in terms of productivity, reduced maintenance and overall cost compared to less innovative suppliers. Today, this approach remains integral to MBW's R&D effort and is readily seen in the majority of the company's products. R&D and production dramatically increased after MBW moved into its new facility in 1971. After several expansions, MBW's Slinger, WI plant now measures 95,000 square feet. Additionally, MBW operates a subsidiary, MBW Europe Ltd., in Bolton, England. MBW has always been known as a company that stretches "the envelope" in its effort to advance technology. By 2005 MBW's product line had expanded to over 90 individual products with hundreds of model variations. Some of MBW's more recent and award winning product developments include: - These attachments for backhoes and excavators combine host machine down-pressure with vibratory dynamics. EXAs & UVWs are versatile and can be used across the full spectrum of soil types. Productivity gains compared to alternative methods offer huge potential. Maintenance is low compared to other compaction equipment. - Low cost, battery powered, and easy to use seismic technology that informs compaction equipment operators when they have achieved maximum achievable soil stiffness and corresponding density under existing conditions. The answer to high cost, often impractical alternative soil testing methods. Independently tested with very high correlation to typical density specifications. Provides direct index of soil stiffness. - A downsized curb & gutter slipform paver offering users a technically advanced, high production machine at an affordable price. It excels at pouring tight radii. Pouring parameters 18" high by 48" wide. MBW's passion to innovate may be most readily apparent in its product line. But it's MBW's innovative approach to running its business coupled with ongoing investment in engineering, production and data processing technology that has enabled MBW to operate with world class efficiency. MBW's plant is state-of-the-art. The heart of MBW's production facility is a battery of CNC metal working machinery. Microsoft Windows XP workstations with SolidWorks software link manufacturing and engineering departments. MBW also utilizes MAPICS XA software on an IBM iSeries for accounting and inventory control which includes an unparalleled MRP (Material Requirements Planning) package. MBW has received national attention in computer industry trade publications as an American manufacturer on the cutting edge of computer related manufacturing methodologies. On the financial front, MBW's innovative business approach resulted in a national test case which allowed for the application of LIFO inventory valuation methods to a manufacturing environment. MBW, Inc. is looking for a dependable, hard- working individual for our assembly department. Our assemblers don’t just work on an assembly line… they build each machine, start to finish, and are responsible for a variety of equipment. We are looking for people who are mechanically inclined, enjoy working independently and are highly motivated to join our team. Since 1967, MBW has been manufacturing one of the construction industry’s most interesting lines of compaction, concrete and related equipment. Our goal is to provide equipment users with products that offer improved productivity, reduced maintenance, longer life, enhanced user safety and lower long-term cost of ownership.
