To handle all the selling and service areas in Germany, four customer service centers in East, South, West and North are built.  

2010 – Foundation of the Mayer Holding GmbH & Co. KG 
With effect from January 1, 2010, Mayer Holding GmbH & Co. KG was founded. The shareholder and Managing Director of the Mayer Group, Mr. Klaus Mayer, will bundle all his company investments in the Mayer Holding.

2010 – The Mayer Group is also breaking new ground in ecology 
In June 2010, a new photovoltaic plant with 227.68 kWp goes into operation. This ecological investment is an active contribution to environmental protection and CO2 savings.

This means Mayer is independent of the general electricity supply companies in the long term and can generate electricity requirements themselves. On the photograph the entire system on the roofs of the company’s premises in Heidenheim-Mergelstetten can be seen.

2018 - 2019

2018/19 – Expansion of the photovoltaic system at the Heidenheim site
Since 2010, solar cells have already covered the entire roof area of the factory and office building in Heidenheim. With a so-called energy façade, i.e. a large-scale traveling cladding of solar panels, the existing possibilities are being used to further expand the generation of renewable energies at the Heidenheim site. Today, the installed PV capacity is an impressive 665 kWp.  This enables a coverage of the own electricity demand of approx. 60% . In order to further reduce energy consumption, all light sources in production are being replaced by LED lights, both to further reduce electricity consumption and to take a further step towards a sustainable energy supply.

2019

2019 – Mayer Steel & Apparatus Engineering
The focus on innovations and a modern machine park has always been an important part of the company management. With the commissioning of the new BIMATEC SORALUCE mobile stand milling and drilling center FS 18000, the course is set for a successful future and the range of services is expanded. Large components up to 50 tons, which require high accuracy in machining, can now be machined with high precision.
The field of competence at the Heidenheim location is expanded by the conversion and leasing of a measuring hall to the company Bometric from Augsburg, Germany and the installation of a large portal measuring machine from the company Zeiss. From now on, customers are offered complete solutions from a single source – from consulting and production to quality control and delivery.

2021 – New photovoltaic plant
We are very pleased to announce the completion of the new photovoltaic plant on the roofs of our Mayer site in Kisfalud, Hungary. The plant generates approximately 275,000 – 290,000 kWh per year and will cover 35 – 45% of our on-site electricity needs in Kisfalud. 

Projects like these make a decisive contribution to the success of the energy transition. Not only because energy is used more efficiently, electricity is produced regeneratively and tons of CO² are saved – they should also serve as a source of inspiration and an example for our colleagues in industry to take this important step towards renewable energies.

He tirelessly expanded the company in a forward-looking manner and developed it into today’s globally successful Mayer Group. At the beginning of 2022, after 28 years, he handed over the operational management of the Mayer Group to his successor Mr. Manuel Linke and from this point on held the office of Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Mayer Holding.

Family and friends were most important to him and he was always available to offer advice and support.

The Mayer Group, with its associated companies in Germany, Hungary and China, remains fully owned by the Mayer family in the fifth generation. This means that the strategic orientation of the Mayer Group will be consistently continued and that there will be no interference by third parties in the future.
