Maag Group
![]() |
Maag Group was created through the merger of Automatik Plastics Machinery GmbH, a German company with a long legacy of technical excellence in pelletizing, with Maag Pump Systems AG, the renowned Swiss producer of pump and filtration technology. For more than 60 years, the Automatik brand has been famed throughout the world with its state-of-the-art pelletizing solutions, while Maag Pump Systems has been providing its leading-edge solutions in pumping and filtration for almost 100 years. As an integrated group, the company is in an unrivalled position to provide comprehensive solutions from a single source, offering complete systems as well as top quality components spanning the entire production chain from extruder tip to finished pellets.
