1 Making metal innovative.

2 Our philosophy 3 Merkt. Progress is in our DNA. For over 60 years now we have been working as specialists in the development and manufacture of high-grade tubular and sheet metal components. As an innovative supplier we align our solutions directly with our clients needs and requirements. If desired, we will assist the construction process, integrating optimum production technology and thereby achieving the highest degree of customer benefit. Progress is not the only tradition on our 14,000-square-meter production floor, located in a high-tech region characterized by medium-sized enterprises. Indeed, we have always borne responsibility in our mindset and actions for the development of our region and the people who live here.

3 4 Customer-oriented and flexible Tube processing using laser technology. Excellent performance in all areas makes Merkt the ideal partner for providing onestop solutions to clients. Partnership. Achieving more together. Our service is guided by your needs from planning to construction and manufacture to logistics and B2B connections. Bathtub paneling for Duravit For us, one-stop service goes without saying. This not only helps us reduce delivery times, but provides crucial competitive advantages for our clients: + We support clients in the construction phase of product development. + We manufacture your goods using modern, environmentally friendly and sustainable methods. + You choose from a range of products covering the entire value chain. + We assemble, pack and ship your goods for you. + Your shipments are always punctual. + Quick delivery times enable short-term planning. + You will always be able to reach a competent contact person. Bathtub paneling for Duravit was at the center of a typical integrated development process that Merkt offers its customers. The paneling was previously glued as a whole, which placed very high demands on the manufacturing process and literally put a strain on the transport and assembly of the bathtubs. Merkt helped to develop collapsible paneling, which considerably reduced the weight of the individual units and made production substantially simpler. Up to four individual panels are now invisibly joined together. The final touch was provided by the components Merkt developed to enable toolfree assembly on site. The bathtub s impressive look with perfect joins makes for happy end customers, while bathroom manufacturers benefit from savings on manufacturing, shipping and assembly. + We will always reply to your questions within 24 hours. + We guarantee that the goods we deliver are of a high quality. + We offer an excellent price/performance ratio.
