Mutz Maschinenbau implements two robot-based stacking systems for Plocher Möbelelemente
Plocher Möbelelemente has daily output of 50,000 components, achieved by 100 employees – plus two Yaskawa Motoman robots. The two handling cells were designed and constructed by Mutz Maschinenbau in 2020 and 2021. But the partnership of the two family-owned enterprises from the Black Forest has existed for much longer.

Innovative by tradition
At least there was always plenty of wood in the once bitterly poor Black Forest. And resourceful inventors. The most prominent outcome of this combination is the world-famous cuckoo clock. And in fact, the furniture industry and mechanical engineering have left their mark on the economically successful region.
One typical representative of this medium-sized innovation culture is Plocher Möbelelemente GmbH with its head office in Vöhringen on the eastern fringe of the Black Forest. Founded in 1953 as a modest furniture workshop, the family-managed company has long since become an internationally active provider of individual solutions for the furniture industry. The company’s portfolio ranges from drawer frames, cross pieces, plinths and furniture profiles to complete furniture systems – on a grand scale. For example, 250,000 running metres of coated moulding are produced each week and about 1,000 packages leave the factory daily.
