m3profile – extrusion on top

The extrusion success story continues

In 2006 we, Michael Heim, Markus Rotter and Michael Meyer, founded m3profile GmbH by means of a management buy-out from Oechsler AG.

Thus the production, which until then was managed by Michael Heim, could be continued as an independent company. Markus Rotter, responsible for procurement and process management, gave this important sector a competent management and m3profile GmbH was able to take off.

A strong foundation of our company is the combination of our experience and the Oechsler know-how, developed over decades, which we are happy to fall back on. Copper wires for the electrical industry were sheathed there as early as 1970, and in 1975, Oechsler introduced the first power rail profiles made of PC material to the market.
