About MFSA
Modell- und Formenbau GmbH Sachsen Anhalt (MFSA) was founded in 1990 as a subsidiary of the Stahlgießerei Rothensee steel foundry and has been based at Lorenzweg 37+42 in Magdeburg since 2013. The company produces models and model equipment made of wood, plastic and styrofoam, especially for foundries, as well as models and components for the wind power industry. The group of companies includes GECOM Garlin Engineering & Composite GmbH, founded in 2010, which specialises in composite processes with carbon, aramid and glass fibre. Manufacturing includes CNC milling on several 5-axis machines (Breton, DMG), CNC turning, waterjet cutting, mould, gauge and fixture making as well as prototype design and the construction of production equipment and special machinery. In addition, CAD design (Pro E, Catia V5/V6, Euklid), 3D metrology with the ATOS scan and TriTop system as a mobile service as well as gel-coat application (Bepasten) are offered. Customers come from foundries, the wind power industry, the automotive sector and engine manufacturing; in 2005 MFSA built a model for what was then the world's largest wind turbine (E 122).
