Welcome to the future

Our Mila-wall has been on the market since 1991, meaning it has been around for several decades. Decades in which a lot has happened, particularly in the areas of technology and design, and during which the Mila-wall has been continuously optimised and further developed:

1991

After our unique tongue-and-groove hanging technology, which enables temporary room structures to be erected in no time at all, is patented, the first Mila-wall generation is launched on the market. Its surrounding multifunctional aluminium frame ensures the stability of the wall, and the special connection technology ensures a flawless, joint-free appearance.

1994

All threads in the wall, which had previously been cut into plastic, were replaced with injected brass sleeves. This optimised the durability of the threads and thus the quality of the Mila wall, making it more sustainable.

1997

Der umlaufende Aluminiumrahmen wird grundlegend verändert. Die Feder ist nun nicht mehr fest, sondern lösbar. Zusätzlich wird das Nut-Profil mit einer weiteren Nut versehen, um weitere Befestigungsmöglichkeiten zu schaffen. Des Weiteren wird das U-Profil zusätzlich verstärkt, was für noch mehr Stabilität sorgt.

1998

Durch einen zusätzlichen innenliegenden MDF-Holzrahmen wird die Wandkonstruktion weiter verstärkt, um die Präzision und Stabilität zusätzlich zu optimieren. Darüber hinaus wird eine Gewindebuchse im Inneren angebracht, sodass Wanderweiterungen problemlos ermöglicht werden können ohne hierfür die Wand beschädigen zu müssen. Die L-Winkel oder Vorkehrungen für Deckenhalterungen können direkt im Gewinde befestigt werden.

2001

The surrounding aluminium frame is completely anodised to prevent friction of the aluminium, thus making it even easier to assemble and dismantle the walls.

2006

The glass fibre reinforced corner block has been expanded to include two system holes, an M10 thread and an M6 thread, providing additional fastening options. Above all, however, the wall modules can now be securely connected to double-storey structures.

2013

Bonding is improved to ensure even greater stability. The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology conducts numerous stress tests, in which Mila-wall achieves excellent results. The TÜV conducts further safety tests once a year. Here, too, top results are achieved, especially in terms of bending and torsion tests, with Mila-wall withstanding approximately 1,000 kilograms.

2016

Development of Mila-wall Acoustic. The proven Mila-wall with its outstanding sound-absorbing properties was further developed. MBA was awarded the German Design Award for this achievement.

2025

We have developed a new wall series: the ‘Mila-wall Series 100 9G’. The “9G” stands for the ninth generation. In numerology, the ‘9’ also stands for transformation. And that fits quite well, because our new wall transforms the precision of the Mila-wall to a new level: the corner blocks are attached to the groove profile from behind, allowing the groove profile to run completely continuously. In addition, the groove profile has been redesigned to create more adhesive surface area for the additional surface coating and to simplify the coating process.

With Think Tank, we have created a spatial solution that offers a retreat for meetings and workshops, even in the hectic bustle of a trade fair day. Our ‘meeting room’ is versatile and suitable for trade fairs, events and production halls as a place for innovation, collaboration and creativity – or simply for resting.

The Mila-wall acoustic walls reduce reverberation, enabling undisturbed, productive conversations. With Mila-wall Acoustic, Think Tank is not only visually appealing, but its sound-absorbing function also significantly improves acoustics and creates a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.

Furthermore, the rooms can be dismantled at any time and set up in a new configuration. This offers a multitude of valuable possibilities and a high degree of flexibility, especially in temporary spaces, from which start-ups and other growing companies in particular can benefit.

In cooperation with Simon Busse Studio and the kreon product design team, a luminaire was developed with the aim of providing the Mila Wall System with visually appealing lighting that is as minimalist as possible in terms of design, ensuring optimal illumination of the Mila Wall partitions. Extensive studies and several workshops were carried out for this purpose, ultimately resulting in the development of a luminaire that enables optimal illumination of the exhibits on display, depending on the requirements and configuration of the partition walls.

A LED engine with wallwasher reflector developed by kreon was incorporated into the luminaire designed by Simon Busse Studio. This combination enables the luminaire to be small in size and reduces the distance to the partition wall. The luminaire's built-in LED chip has a high CRI* value, which guarantees the best possible colour rendering of the exhibits. The luminaire is operated by a permanently installed Dali-2 driver and has a power output of 9.9 W at 807 Im.

By default, the luminaire is designed to be mounted individually on the upper rail of the wall and to have an individual power supply for each luminaire. However, it is possible to supply all luminaires on a wall with power at the same time and control them together. For this purpose, a 48 V rail can be permanently integrated into the top of the partition walls, which distributes both the required power and the control signal. The rails are connected to each other with adapters. Power is supplied to the rails via an external power supply unit.

Save time and money with our modular exhibition stands. In future, you will no longer need the help of specialists and can set up your exhibition stand yourself in just a few hours. With our customised Mila-wall and SCENARIO sets, you can design your stand entirely according to your needs and expand it flexibly as required.

Mila-wall's tongue-and-groove connection technology ensures a clean and sleek look by concealing vertical lines. With our SCENARIO exhibition kit, on the other hand, the walls are not delivered as a whole, but are connected using an intuitive plug-in system. The advantage here is clearly the lightness of the individual components. Nevertheless, the composite construction made of micro chipboard panels and honeycomb core ensures that the structure can compete in terms of stability.

Mila-wall Acoustic tested by the Fraunhofer Institute

As part of the renovation of historic rooms in Benediktbeuern Monastery, which are to be converted into contemporary event spaces, the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP) carried out a research project to improve the acoustics.

Over several days, room acoustics engineers were on site and tested a total of three methods for reducing reverberation, one of which was the use of Mila-wall Acoustic*.

A wide range of requirements had to be met. Among other things, the different reverberation times of music and spoken word had to be taken into account – and the preservation order imposed tight design constraints.

* In the test setup, the wall modules were mounted on wooden panels, see pictures. For professional use, there are more discreet solutions with stainless steel feet.

The most promising measure in the test was the installation of wall modules from the Mila-wall Acoustic series, which was developed specifically for rooms with a lot of background noise and is already being used successfully in noisy environments such as trade fairs for meeting rooms.

Wall and column absorbers from other manufacturers as well as Mila-wall Acoustic partition walls (see Figure 4) were installed in the test setup. The results are clearly illustrated by the following graphs on reverberation time:

Once again, it has been demonstrated that the sound-absorbing wall modules of the Mila-wall Acoustic with micro-perforated surfaces not only achieve a significant improvement in acoustics under the most difficult conditions, but that their award-winning design also meets high aesthetic standards.

Without covering the vaults and frescoes, the discreetly designed, highly functional Mila-wall Acoustic was used to transform an acoustically ‘unusable’ room in the Benediktbeuern monastery into a space suitable for musical performances.
