Corporate Background

Steeped in a long tradition of the world-leading manufacture of deep hole drilling machines and their complementary tooling (micro and deep hole gun drills), as well as precision engineered deep hole components, the Mollart Group was founded in 1929 by my grandfather.

The family-owned business began life as general production engineers producing a wide range of components for the automotive and aerospace industries, including work on the early helicopters.

Today, the 100-employee Mollart Group’s value-added manufacturing expertise has evolved into an unrivalled and dynamic project and production engineering skills set that not only meets but also actually surpasses the challenges presented by the demands of 21st century contract manufacture across every industry sector — including medical, off-road, oil, nuclear, defence and telecommunications — in addition to an ongoing association with clients in the aerospace and automotive industries.

Here at Mollart we firmly believe that successful, profitable manufacturing partnerships are based on continuous, two-way communication and with this to the back drop to everything we do, I look forward to discussing how we can help you to increase your profits and your competitiveness.

"There is no other company in the world with the level of expertise in deep hole drilling machines, sub-contract and tooling applications."

Guy Mollart,
Managing Director
