mageba is a global leading supplier of structural bearings, expansion joints as well as other products and services for the infrastructure and building construction sectors. The family-run company therefore serves an attractive and growing niche market. Structural bearings ensure the load transmission between a bridge’s superstructure and its pillars; expansion joints balance out the longitudinal movements in bridges that occur through temperature variations and traffic load.

mageba has installed bearings and expansion joints in more than 20,000 constructions around the world, including some of the largest and most heavily-used bridges. Founded in 1963, mageba is considered to be a leading innovative provider in this technologically and qualitatively high-end segment of the market.

Earthquake protection is one of the business areas to be expanded in future. Many countries have set aside additional funding for projects in this area. mageba provides structural dampers for these applications that not only provide protection in the event of earthquakes, but also absorb noise and vibrations. In addition, DBAG aims to support the company’s further internationalisation, for example in North and South America and in the Middle East.
