What makes MS Engine Technology so successful?
MS offers its customers the synergy effects of an international group of companies and the flexibility of a medium-sized firm with a long techno-logical tradition. Engine technology is one of the two divisions of the MS Group. We have been completely familiar with the special requirements of machine and engine construction for more than 45 years now. With our state-of-the-art industrial facility, highly committed employees and precision production processes we give you unique efficiency as a systems supplier – combined with the most flexible production conditions. This makes MS Engine Technology outstandingly important.
A leading role is played at MS by innovation management:
• Holistic approach to all production processes
• Extensive investment in latest-generation production and testing facilities • Own department for company-wide continuous improvement processes • Further training for each of our qualified employees
• Many years of cooperation with universities and research institutes
Innovation projects and good ideas are put into practice quickly and unbureaucratically – in fact, MS could also be seen as a development laboratory for drive technology. One prize for all this hard work has been the award as one of the Top 100 most innovative small and
medium-Components, subassemblies and systems from MS occupy an outstanding position in the market for powerful vehicle and plant engines, in terms of both quality and quantity. MS also takes sustainable production targets into consideration, bringing approximately 150 million horsepower each year to the world‘s roads. With around 4.2 million litres of displacement, the company drives not only utility vehicles on all continents especially efficiently but also buses, rail vehicles, ships, mining machinery and agricul-tural machinery, as well as stationary plants in energy technology.
A high amount of our own developments, diverse production technolo-gies and reliable capacities, also for high-volume production, lead to a broad range of application sectors. Parts from MS Engine Technology cover all power ranges from 150 to 4,300 kW in engines or stationary plants. MS Engine Technology has already fully proven its performance spectrum with a large number of different drives as a preferred supplier of leading companies. Depending on the respective application, MS supplies simple subassemblies all the way to complex systems made from
• Steel • Cast iron • Cast aluminium • Cast iron parts and • Solid materials
150 million horsepower –
MS delivers high-precision parts for your pro-duction – whether for the power range between 150 and 4,300 kW in progressive drive technology on rails, for direct drives and power generation in shipbuilding, for engines and secondary-energy generation for machines in the mining
sector, however tough the conditions, for reliable stationary energy-technology plants for extracting new materials, for high-powered direct and indirect drives in innovative agricultural technology or for latest-generation diesel en-gines in the utility vehicle and bus segment. The systems from MS have proven themselves a million times over and, whatever conditions they have to face, you can always be sure of one thing: MS gives you absolute reliability!
Product diversity is where the superiority of MS engine technology becomes especially clear, alongside high-volume production and a high degree of vertical integration. In everything to do with valve train controls, drivetrains, chassis units, engine braking systems and injection technologies, the quality of MS Engine Technology has fully established itself on the market. The wealth of variants is also reflected in the quantities produced: around 1.8 million subassemblies for 500,000 ”moving“ and ”stationary“ engines every year. MS is the only manufacturing company worldwide to offer such a large variety of products – and it is also a leading systems supplier
1.8 million systems –
Plenty of power for unique products
of subassemblies for efficient engines. MS currently develops, designs and produces innovative lightweight-construction valve train components, which fulfil official requirements and norms in a low-cost, efficient manner even in the long term. In the fuel efficiency sector, too, the limits of the achievable are far from having been reached. With constantly new technologies and production methods, MS Engine Technology will be tapping savings potential in the future as well with regard to consumption, harmful emissions and procurement costs.
Just some of the products available from MS Engine Technology: • Valve train controls
• Injection technology • Powertrains • Chassis units
• Engine braking systems • Gearbox housings
