About
MURTFELDT.

Our shared drive:

A BETTER WORLD NEEDS BETTER MACHINES.

With our components and materials, we help make our customers’ machines more durable, more efficient, and faster — every single day.

Fo(u)r generations.

Our society faces major global and local challenges — an aging population, climate change, the energy and mobility transition, resource scarcity, and more.

We firmly believe in the vital role of mechanical and plant engineering to address these challenges in the long term. Better machines, systems, and products will significantly contribute to creating a livable and sustainable future — for all of us and for future generations.

To us, “better” means more efficient, more durable, more repairable, faster, safer, more reliable, and more sustainable. To conserve vital resources such as energy, materials, and time — and to help move our society forward.

WE MAKE OUR CONTRIBUTION.

Because we are experts in technologies and processes related to advanced (high-performance) materials.

Our customers operate in a wide range of industries, such as food, pharmaceuticals, energy, and semiconductors. With passion and innovation, they work every day to design and manufacture better machines, systems, and products for a wide variety of applications.

Engineering plastics and other high-performance materials play a crucial role in this. Without them, the perfect machine cannot come to life. But the world of these specialized materials is complex. Their application and processing require extensive knowledge, perfect processes, and many years of experience. And that’s where we come in.

We bring high-performance engineering materials to life. This has been our focus for decades. With our unique expertise, our components, and materials, we help our customers build better machines — and in doing so, we contribute to a livable future.

AN ECOSYSTEM THAT FITS YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.

We have developed a range of services and products designed to meet the diverse requirements and needs of our customers.

For every business size

We serve tens of thousands of customers- and each one is unique. From micro-enterprises to global corporations, and everything in between. Manufacturers of semiconductors, electric vehicles, or energy bars. In Germany and around the world.

With respect for individual requirements

For some, it’s all about speed, a transparent process, and price. For others, it’s about solving a complex technical challenge together. Or all of that — at once. Or one step at a time.

Logically united in the MURTFELDT world

We have created four dedicated areas, each focused on specific customer needs. From these, we draw the expertise to serve our customers in the most optimal and holistic way.

What is the green thread?

No matter the challenge, we always and everywhere strive for perfection - in consulting, quality, efficiency, technical solutions, and customer experience. That is what MURTFELDT stands for.


Reliable.
Partner-Oriented.

We take pride in our role as a highly specialized supplier and do everything we can to ensure our customers feel secure with us — precise, efficient, and with reliable delivery performance. Smooth processes and competent, personable points of contact.

We don’t push ourselves into the spotlight — instead, we focus entirely on putting our customers in a position to succeed. We think along and ahead. We provide valuable input, help our customers save costs, or work together to find the perfect technical solution. We ease concerns, offer flexibility, and always have a listening ear.


We are suppliers by conviction and with passion.

6 PRINCIPLES AND 1 PROMISE

The foundation of our shared actions — both internally and externally — is built on six principles. These are tied to one promise: we are committed to living and continuously developing these principles in our daily work.

01
We think and act in generations

As a family business in its fourth generation, we understand the value of thinking and acting with a long-term perspective. We are committed to passing on a healthy, future-ready company to the next generations - within an intact social, economic, and ecological environment.

02
We are serious about each other

We believe in long-term relationships built on honesty, loyalty, and empathy. That means we take the people around us seriously, are open, appreciate each other, treat one another fairly, and give sincere recognition. We work hard - but we also know how to celebrate together.

03
We think along and ahead

We anticipate challenges before anyone else and work together to find the smartest ways to solve them. With every single customer project - and a little better every day. That’s how we brought engineering plastics into mechanical engineering. And that’s how we’ve continuously reinvented ourselves over the past decades.

04
We get things done

We prefer action over words and take responsibility with confidence. Challenges drive us, and trying new things helps us grow. We learn, improve, and support each other as a team. Although we now operate all over the world, our roots are in the Ruhr area a place that stands for the success of people who take action.

05
Whatever we do, we always strive for perfection

We love and live quality. And we always strive for perfection - in our products and services, in the way we manufacture, in our internal processes, and in the development and expertise of our employees. No half measures: We aim to set new standards with every single project. We play - consistently and successfully - in the Champions League.

06
We value diversity - and build on it 

We are people. We are all different. And that’s a good thing.We firmly believe that the quality of collaboration and a company’s ability to grow depend significantly on lived diversity — on how well we combine different perspectives into a shared mindset. Only then can we unlock the full potential of MURTFELDT.
