About kotter | m+o Engineering
kotter | m+o Engineering e.K. is an owner-managed engineering office in Mainz that offers engineering-compliant development and design of special components tailored to customer requirements. Its fields of business include engineering for the automotive industry, chemical apparatus construction, laboratory technology, medical technology and metrology, as well as a contract agency for the procurement of individual parts and small series, including the management of finishing processes. A key focus is the conversion of glass apparatus to steel in chemical plants – from individual apparatus and pipework to complete plants while retaining the instrumentation and control technology. The company also develops test and inspection devices, e.g. for microbial penetration of textiles according to EN ISO 22612 and for medical face masks according to EN 14683 / ISO 22609, as well as assembly tools for tyre valves and tyre pressure sensors (TPMS/RDK). In terms of materials, stainless materials, steel, aluminium and glass are handled. All orders are supervised by a graduate engineer with European Welding Engineer qualification (EWE/IWE); deliveries are made to 17 countries worldwide.
