Our company was founded by Anton Osswald in 1967 and registered as the “Maschinenbau Anton Osswald KG“ in the commercial register. The aim of the two-man company was to manufacture and market linking elements such as bolts and clevises for industrial applications. Right from the start, Anton Osswald concentrated on producing products of the highest quality which were only delivered to the customer after stringent checks. This principle was the foundation of the good reputation of products from Külsheim-Steinbach and this is still anchored in the heads of all employees today. In 1985, the son Dr. Manfred Osswald joined the company and became responsible for the commercial management. Under his leadership, the quality principle was intensified in the sales and service areas. Customer wishes have always had the highest priority. This starts with the first contact but doesn’t end with the delivery of the required product. In 1988, the second son Rainer Osswald joined the company management and thus made the family business complete. Being an engineer, he took over the technical management and continuously strived to improve the manufacturing methods in order to be able to satisfy the customers’ individual wishes more economically and effectively whereby quality requirements were always in the foreground. Together they managed the company very successfully and always kept their target of healthy growth in mind. In order to prepare mbo for further successful growth in the future, the mbo Osswald GmbH & Co. KG Company was founded in 1996. The company now has more than 80 well-qualified employees and a production and stock area of 8,000 m². In addition to more than 12,000 standard parts always available from stock, the proportion of “specials“made to customers’ drawings continuously increases, products which are needed by the industry for very special applications.
