Contract Manufacturing for Energy Technology
Components for power generation, power distribution, hydropower and storage
Energy technology ranges from power plants and hydropower plants to grids and substations, storage systems and hydrogen plants. Everywhere, machines, pumps, valves and housings are at work whose components must be manufactured accurately and built to last.
MWA – Mechanische Werkstätten Anhalt GmbH in Halberstadt manufactures such parts to drawing, as new parts for plant construction or as spare parts for maintenance, from single part to series.

Which parts do we manufacture for energy technology?
- Parts for turbines, generators and motors, such as shafts, bearing covers and housings
- Pump and compressor parts such as housings, impeller seats and shafts
- Fitting and valve parts, flanges and connectors
- Parts for hydropower plants
- Housings, holders and support parts for switchgear and substations
- Components for storage systems, electrolysers and hydrogen technology to drawing
- Spare parts for maintenance and overhaul
What is particularly important in energy technology?
Energy plants run for decades, often without interruption. Components must therefore be dimensionally accurate, leak-tight and fatigue-resistant. Sealing surfaces, bearing seats and flange hole patterns require tight tolerances and good surface finishes, which we achieve by grinding on request.
More on the page Turning and grinding and in the guide General tolerances according to ISO 2768.
Which materials are typical?
Typical materials are quenched and tempered steel and heat-resistant steel for shafts and flanges, stainless steel for parts in contact with water, steam or media, cast iron for housings, and copper and aluminium materials for electrical engineering parts. The material is verified with a certificate according to EN 10204, often as inspection certificate 3.1.

Do you also manufacture spare parts for older plants?
Yes. Especially for older power plant, pump and hydropower installations, the original part is often no longer available. We manufacture the spare part anew to drawing or sample. We agree functional dimensions, material and inspection characteristics with you before production, also to suit a fixed overhaul date.
Which processes and sizes are possible?
We mill, turn, bore and grind from a single source, including on 5 axes. Small to medium-sized parts up to Ø 2,500 mm, 6,000 mm length, 3,000 mm height and 25 t are possible. We broker larger parts and special processes through our manufacturing network.
