Malek Brautech GmbH was founded in 1992 by Herbert Malek as a development and production company for keg systems. Herbert Malek started his professional career at Weigel, one of the first German mechanical engineering firms involved in the design and manufacture of keg systems. His last position there before founding Malek Anlagenbau engineering consultants in 1985 was Technical Head, and he was responsible for the development and improvement of machinery and systems.
Up to 1992, Malek Anlagenbau worked in overall projects and design, while partners such as Neubecker were responsible for production. During this time Malek developed his improved keg cleaning process which still is the best in the industry as regards effectiveness.
Our current levels of knowledge are based upon more than 45 years of experience that Herbert Malek brought in when the company was founded, and these have been passed down to his son, our new CEO, Alexander Malek..
The next generation has been active in the company since 2004 with Alexander Malek. Responsible most recently for the development of the new machine generations, he previously worked his way through all departments – from service to commercial and design roles. As a result he was able to consolidate his knowledge within all departments of the company, and successfully drive forward optimisation of business and production processes. After a 10-year period of preparation, Alexander Malek took over management of Malek Brautech GmbH in 2014, thereby safeguarding the promising future of the owner-run manufacturing company.
