About MABI
MABI AG, headquartered in Veltheim, Switzerland, develops and manufactures sheet metal processing machinery for insulation technology. The portfolio includes slitting and tube production lines (16er series), universal shear cutting machines with segment shears and laser cutting technology from coil or strip, rolling stands, bending, rounding, and punching machines, as well as mobile machines for construction sites, such as the Rohrfix part cutting machine which has been in use globally for over 2000 units since 1992. The processed materials are galvanized sheet, aluminum, stainless steel (V2A), coarse fiber products, plastic, and foil-coated sheet, typically in widths from 914 to 1250 mm. The machine program is supplemented by proprietary software (Evo-Net, IsoPlaner), digital measurement, 3D laser scanning (Trimble X) for BIM, as well as ERP and Industry 4.0 interfaces. MABI also offers consulting, worldwide service, remote service, 3D workshop planning, financing, and used machinery sales. The company is run by the Biland family and is ISO 9001 certified.
