history
Lorenz Mayer founded the company in 1947 in Altenmarkt im Pongau; In 1952 the company moved to the city of Salzburg. In 1971 his son Ernst Mayer took over the management and the family business grew in stages. The production plant in Trieben was opened in 1994, followed by the Mauterndorf location in 2009 . An assembly plant in Kaluga (Russia) has also been in operation since 2010 .
In April 2015, MACO announced that it would have to reduce the number of employees in Austria to around 1,500 due to a drop in orders. The company now employs around 1,700 people again at its Austrian locations (as of June 2017).
