About us
Our core competence is in machining and prototype development. We have solid and long experience in machining parts in materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, inconel, titanium, duplex, as well as castings and plastic materials such as pom and peek.
Our history
2001
We are three friends who, with great enthusiasm, founded MPM in October 2001.
2003
The workshop's capacity has been maximized. Production is in full swing.
2007
Large investments are made in the machine park.
2008
Last year's investments turn out not to be so lucky after all, as the financial crisis hits the global economy.
2011
Glass railings will be part of the initiative under the EdelStaal brand name.
2016
Glass railings are the main focus. There is less machining than in previous years. Milling machines and lathes are being sold to make room.
2017
June 2017 Frekhaug Maskinering AS is established in connection with the acquisition of NIS
2019
In the fall of 2019, it was decided to merge MPM with Frekhaug Maskinering AS. Bård became general manager.
2020
EdelStaal is being transferred to Soltek AS, and is therefore no longer part of the product range.
2025
Befriends Mazak, and invests in two new machines.
From the archive
MPM
Bård pictured, year 2003. Modell Prototyping Maskinering AS (MPM) existed until 2017, before it was decided to make a change of uniform. At that time, the profile was black and red.
The early years
With few resources comes a lot of responsibility. A short break in production gives room to pack and sort orders.
The computer room
A bit ambitious, Bård takes a course in computer programming and 3D drawing. Today, the tasks are delegated to someone else in the house.
The machinery park
A typical day in production, fall 2014.
EdelStaal
In 2016, much of the space will be used for the production of glass railings.
The acquisition of N.I.S
Takes over equipment, customers, and expertise. Machining is in focus again.
Friends with Mazak
The faithful LB15 that has been with us from the start must unfortunately be sacrificed in favor of new investments. In the spring of 2025, we will receive our first machine from Mazak.
