MAKRA FLADE by MAKRA PRO
"Waffle iron meets high-tech: This is how innovation begins at MAKRA PRO"
Innovation often begins small – sometimes even while baking waffles on a Sunday morning. That's exactly how the idea for MAKRA FLADE was born. What initially seemed like a spontaneous brainwave became the starting point for a patented technology that now combines design and function in a completely new way. A customer presented us with a real challenge: molding genuine leather three-dimensionally using foam. For weeks, we couldn't find a solution – until the idea came up to apply the principle of a waffle iron to leather.
From this idea, we developed a heated tool with integrated vacuum technology that shapes leather or fabric into a special negative design and bonds it with foam. The highlight: The design module can be exchanged within a minute – even individual elements can be swapped out. This allows for unparalleled design freedom. This creates exclusive, tailor-made surfaces for interiors, fashion, technology, and much more.
Whether it's luxurious vehicle interiors, designer panels for hotels, handcrafted accessories, or ergonomic applications – MAKRA FLADE offers countless applications. Our technology is deliberately aimed at the high-end segment, at customers seeking the extraordinary. Our collaborations with brands like BRABUS demonstrate the direction we're headed.
Today, MAKRA FLADE is more than just a process – it's a statement. It represents the creative power of MAKRA PRO, the passion for innovative thinking, and the combination of craftsmanship and high-tech. With the international patent application, our innovation is not only protected but poised to set a global standard. And we're just at the beginning.
Because for us, there are no limits. Only possibilities.
