MBI, 55 years dedicated to innovation

2018 is going to be a very special year for the MBI Group due to the double anniversary that will be celebrated during INTERMAT in Paris.

In fact, this year will be the 55th foundation anniversary of MANTOVANIBENNE, head of the MBI Group and member of EDA, and the 20th of MBI France, the French affiliate. Together these two companies represent an unrivalled level of experience and expertise in the industry of attachments for demolition, recycling and construction.

The common theme alongside the MBI Group history is, without hesitation, the desire of innovation and continuous improvement, distinctive characteristic of the Italian head company MANTOVANIBENNE, transmitted to all the other MBI Group affiliates. Indeed in the 70’s, at the beginning of its path, MANTOVANIBENNE has been one of the first industrial producer of buckets in Europe.

Then with the years passing, the company has always tried to bring something new in the market of attachments; such as clamshell buckets or orange peel grabs. Nevertheless, the decisive step in the Group history has been, in 1991, the launch of an entire line of demolition attachments, something almost unknown within Europe at that time.

Today, as much as in the past, the intention to contribute to the evolution of working practices pushes the company to develop new ideas and transform them into reality to satisfy the always-changing market needs.

In addition, the 2018 edition of INTERMAT, being held in the home country of MBI France, one of the two celebrated MBI companies, appears to be the perfect occasion to celebrate the double anniversary. Therefore, in perfect MBI style, the Group companies have decided to celebrate during the exhibition, together with the closest customers and suppliers, launching new products and presenting improvements on some of the most representative equipment in the MBI range.

The spotlight will be on the new demolition cracker CC60R, an attachment that is destined to influence the future demolition techniques, especially in the demolition of large infrastructures, where the external concrete structure incorporates a resilient metallic frame.

This new 6,5-ton-class shear combines the typical physiognomy of a concrete crusher with some features of scrap shears. The double-central-pin body ensure high resistance to stress and enables to transfer the full force of cylinders to the tips, even at the maximum jaws opening.

The mentioned jaws, thanks to the special asymmetric design, are able to crush concrete and cut steel in an incredibly effective way. The interchangeable parts, then, allow the user to keep the tool in a perfect state of efficiency with some quick and simple maintenance interventions. The blend of all these qualities, with the renowned reliability of all the MBI products, makes the CC60R the ultimate equipment for professional demolition contractors around the world.

During INTERMAT, other innovations are going to be presented; some of them regarding established MBI products that have been further improved to elevate again the quality standards in the market.

For instance, the RP-IT line, a global benchmark for rotating pulverizers, sees its efficacy and durability features enhanced thanks to casted interchangeable parts. The MS line, instead, has been improved with a new design that augment the efficacy and includes interchangeable parts to facilitate maintenance.

In addition, some new smaller models have been added to the line as a consequence of the raising demand for small tools for mini excavators and high-reach applications. The SGR line, given the wider and wider range of applications found, has a new oleodynamic system that ensures the highest level of efficiency and reliability in each context.

Given the very positive results of 2017, the product innovations ready for the market and the several ones still in development, the MBI Group expects a great 2018, as a right celebration of the successful MBI history.
