Nearly half a millennium of experience in access equipment

Together, they can look back on a total of 495 years of service - the 44 employees of the Munk Group who have been with the company for between five and 35 years.   The management of the access equipment specialist recently honoured the many years of dedication and loyalty of its employees at a festive celebration and expressed its great appreciation. This festive occasion is firmly anchored in the Munk Group's annual calendar.

"The dedicated work of our loyal employees has shaped and advanced the Munk Group and made a decisive contribution to where we are today," said Managing Director Ferdinand Munk during the ceremony. He emphasised that the strong team spirit of the employees, who all pull together, is an important factor in the success of the Munk Group.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, the management of the "Bavaria's Best 50" company also took stock of the year that is drawing to a close. The access equipment specialists of the Munk Group can once again look back on successful months with an increase in turnover, growth in qualified jobs and expansion of their market position as a technology and innovation leader in access equipment. Numerous product innovations such as the first stepladder made in Germany from glass fibre-reinforced plastic and scaffolding with safety railings are helping to buck the trend of a generally worsening economic situation. Conversion measures are currently underway at the home site in Donauried in Günzburg, which will further optimise processes and operating procedures following the expansion of operations in the last two years and allow the Munk Group to look forward to the new year with a good order situation.

With its business units Munk Günzburger Steigtechnik, Munk Rettungstechnik, Munk Service and Munk Profiltechnik, the Munk Group is one of the most important suppliers of access and rescue equipment as well as suitable service solutions. As a technology and innovation leader in access equipment, the name Munk stands for safety made in Germany. The company is now run by the fourth and fifth generations of the Munk family - true to the motto "One family. One name. One mission".

In the MUNK Günzburger Steigtechnik business unit for access solutions, the MUNK Group carries over 2,500 products in its standard range, from ladders for commercial, public and private use to mobile scaffolding, platforms, stairs and bridging steps to custom-made special constructions. These include, for example, work and maintenance platforms, docking systems, walkways and assembly platforms, which, in the era of digitalisation, can also be automatically adapted to the respective environment using the latest control technology.

In the MUNK Rettungstechnik business unit for rescue equipment, the company offers access solutions and transport logistics for fire, rescue and disaster relief operations. These include, for example, multi-functional ladders, scaling and push-up extension ladders, rescue platforms, toolboxes, station equipment and a wide range of mobile containers. In the MUNK Service business unit, the MUNK Group bundles the areas of installation, testing, repair and maintenance of access solutions and rescue equipment, as well as seminars. The youngest business division, MUNK Profiltechnik, offers high-quality technology for individual and professional configurations with a functional and sophisticated profile system.

The MUNK Group is always drawing attention to itself with new ideas that offer customers real added value in practice. It is certified with the "Work and Family" audit and has already received numerous awards for its innovations, its economic development, its responsible and sustainable actions and as a family-friendly employer. The Free State of Bavaria once again honoured the company with the Bavaria's Best 50 award in 2023.

The MUNK Group manufactures exclusively in its home region of Günzburg. It was also the first supplier ever to be audited by TÜV Nord in 2010 with the certified "Made in Germany" certificate of origin and offers a 15-year guarantee on all series products made in Germany. The Munk Group employs over 450 people at its headquarters in Günzburg and at the Munk Rettungstechnik division site in Leipheim. It is represented in Germany with 13 sales offices and its own branch in Austria. Over the past three years, the company has invested around 30 million euros in the development and expansion of its sites.
