The story
The company was founded in 1995 as Nesemeier & Freimuth GmbH. It purchased MBB Gelma Industrieelektronik GmbH from Daimler-Benz Aerospace AG. MBB Industries AG had its IPO in 2006 and was converted into MBB SE (Societas Europaea) in March 2015. MBB stands for Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm. Today, MBB is the only independent company to have emerged directly from the original MBB Group. The company founders remained major shareholders also after the IPO to date.
Today, the group includes seven subsidiaries with more than 1,500 employees.
