MKT - Pioneer in Innovative Technologies and Customized Solutions for High-Quality Fastening Systems.
Founded in 1990 in Weilerbach (Germany), Metall-Kunststoff-Technik quickly became a key player in fastening technology. The company defines itself as a pioneer of innovative solutions for approved high-quality fastening systems..
Today, MKT is regarded as one of the largest European manufacturers of concrete anchors, capable of providing customized solutions to construction professionals.
MKT® PRODUCTS
MKT offers a complete range for all types of fasteners:
-
Heavy Mechanical Anchors and Anchor Screws – for example, the BZ3 expansion anchor (available in galvanized steel, A4 stainless steel, or HCR) is certified for dynamic and seismic loads. Other models (types SZ, SLZ, SL, etc.) allow for very high load capacities.
These metal anchors undergo strict testing (seismic, tunnel fire/standard, fatigue) and bear the CE marking according to the ETA.
The production is vertically integrated, from steel sourced in Germany to final machining, ensuring maximum quality control. -
Chemical Anchoring Systems – injection resins (VMZ, VMH, VMU, VME systems, etc.) allow for anchoring threaded rods and rebar in both cracked and uncracked concrete.
The most commonly used system is the VMZ Injection System (available in standard, A4, HCR, or "dynamic" versions for alternating loads).
These chemical solutions are CE/ETA approved for static or dynamic loads (such as fatigue anchoring), as well as for seismic demands and fire testing. -
Light and Universal Anchors – MKT also markets nylon and universal anchors for masonry and hollow concrete. This includes nail plugs (Nail Plug ND), universal anchors (UD), standard nylon anchors (NSD), or safety anchors (Safety Nail DN), as well as anchors for drywall (GKD).
The Safety Nail DN, for example, holds an ETA approval for specific installations.
These products cover all common applications, from light to heavy.

QUALITY AND CERTIFICATIONS
MKT emphasizes quality and safety. Since 1994, the company has obtained ISO 9001 certification (quality management). Subsequently, an environmental management system (ISO 14001) and an energy management system (ISO 50001) were implemented in 2014, along with a health and safety system (ISO 45001) certified in 2015..
These initiatives ensure a clean and safe production process. In terms of products, many MKT anchors benefit from European Technical Assessments (ETA) and the CE marking. For example, MKT received the world's first ETA for a fatigue anchor (BZ3 dyn) in 2020, as well as the first ETA for a chemical anchoring system in cracked concrete (VMZ) in 2004. Each new product undergoes testing (seismic, fire, aging, emissions, etc.) before being validated, ensuring reliability for specifiers..
INNOVATION AND SERVICES
Innovation is at the heart of MKT's offering. The company has a dedicated design office (testing laboratories, R&D) and has developed breakthrough products. For example, the VZ system launched in 2021 is a chemical anchor with glass capsules that simplifies installation during renovations..
MKT also offers a comprehensive fastening calculation software (MKT Anchor Design), developed in-house and distributed for free..
This intuitive tool allows for the sizing of any fastening point according to European standards, without the need for technical support. A mobile application (mortar volume calculator) and responsive technical assistance support engineers and installers on a daily basis..
