NEW LEADERSHIP, NEW POSSIBILITIES
A new chapter has begun at MHM Industries—one rooted in tradition, driven by innovation, and led by someone who knows the company from the inside out. We are proud to announce that Mr. Herbert Ritzer is now the new owner of MHM, bringing the company full circle in a story that began nearly four decades ago.
From Technician to Visionary Leader
In the early 1980s, a young Herbert Ritzer began his professional journey right here at MHM, working under the legendary founder Herbert Mayrhofer. As a technician, Mr. Ritzer gained firsthand knowledge of the machines, the market, and the mindset that made MHM a global leader in screen printing systems. Those early days sparked a passion for technology and innovation that never left him.
Over the years, Mr. Ritzer charted his own path—building experience, leading teams, and eventually founding and growing Mechatronik Kufstein, a company specializing in high-end automation and mechatronics. Today, Mechatronik Kufstein is a respected name in industrial automation and robotics, known for its technical excellence, smart engineering, and bold solutions.
Now, with MHM and Mechatronik Kufstein united under one leadership, the potential is enormous.
Why This Matters: Synergy, Innovation & a Shared Future
This isn’t just a change of ownership—it’s a transformation. Mr. Ritzer brings with him a deep understanding of MHM’s DNA as well as a forward-looking strategy powered by automation, digitalization, and cross-industry thinking.
Here’s what this new alliance means for MHM and its customers:
Deeper Technical Expertise
With Mechatronik Kufstein’s high-level engineering background and automation systems, MHM gains immediate access to new resources and technical know-how that will elevate both product development and production processes.
Accelerated Innovation
Expect faster innovation cycles, smarter machine designs, and greater integration of modern automation technologies. From advanced robotics to intelligent control systems—MHM is evolving.
Expanded Market Opportunities
Together, the two companies can now reach into new industrial sectors and offer tailored solutions well beyond traditional screen printing.
Same Commitment to Service
Despite all the exciting developments, one thing remains unchanged: our dedication to our customers. Sales, support, and spare parts continue without interruption. Our team is here for you, with the same reliability and responsiveness you’ve always known.
Pushing Boundaries: What’s Next for MHM
MHM is already working on the next generation of screen printing systems, with a clear focus on automation, efficiency, and digital integration. We’re also investing in:
The continued development of our current machine lines
Modular upgrades and enhancements for existing customers
New mechatronic solutions that bring more precision, speed, and customization
A future-ready production environment—supported by the upcoming move into a new, state-of-the-art facility
This is not just growth—it’s a full-scale evolution.
MHM was my professional starting point, and it’s an honor to now lead the company into its next era. My goal is to build on the strong foundation created by Herbert Mayrhofer while opening new doors for growth and innovation. With the combined strength of MHM and Mechatronik Kufstein, we’re ready to shape the future of industrial printing—together with our customers.
