Need suggestions on how to improve this logo

A metallurgical company wanted me to redisign it's logo, and I don't know too much about it. This is the one I made, the name of the company is "Maier". So:
What corrections or improvements can I do to make it look better? any kind of help is welcomed.
It's not a very big company, so it doesn't have to be 100% original, I guess. And add the fact that in my country copyright laws aren't very strict.

>tl;dr how do I improve this logo?
