From a small workshop in Selb to an internationally successful mechanical engineering group: NETZSCH is ringing in its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary 12 months – and over four,one hundred employees worldwide are joining within the celebration.
The beginning is a replica of the identical start-up pattern we regularly see today: Two brothers set up their own enterprise in 1873 and, in a small workshop in Selb, developed a high quality product that won over the hearth departments of the area. The fireplace extinguishers from the “Gebrüder Netzsch Maschinenfabrik” were an enormous seller. From there, Thomas Netzsch, a locksmith, and his younger brother Christian Netzsch, an engineer, went on to develop machines for ceramic production that were also famend for his or her high quality. With the increase of the porcelain industry at that time in the Fichtelgebirge, the company lastly concentrated totally on the production of the ceramics business tools.
Thus, 150 years ago, the success story of a family-owned company began, which at present spans the globe with its three business units “Pumps & Systems”, “Grinding & Dispersing” and “Analyzing & Testing” – with products such as the Mohno pump, moist mill and rheometer, with round 210 manufacturing and sales areas and more than four,a hundred workers. Today, the NETZSCH Group is once once more headed by two brothers from Selb: Moritz and Paul Netzsch. As the fifth generation of the Netzsch family of homeowners, they run the company together with CFO Jens Niessner.
“Our historical past provides answers”
What started in 1873 in a workshop in Selb has, after all, long outgrown its infancy. But NETZSCH desires to stay true to its household values and roots. In this anniversary yr, Moritz Netzsch emphasizes: “It is necessary to me that we now have a steady, continued improvement of what we do today. My want is that, with all of the reflection, with all the necessary rethinking and new considering, we grow organically, and produce the corporate into the subsequent era stronger than ever.”
This is probably considered one of the explanation why NETZSCH had its corporate history researched from quite so much of perspectives for its 150th anniversary. Looking into the previous not solely substantiates values and successes, it additionally reveals the match of a price proposition. “Our history provides answers as to why we now have existed for thus lengthy. Our slogan ‘Proven Excellence’ is no empty phrase. We can prove our excellence from our history. One can observe how we actively formed entire industries over many years. Along with this, NETZSCH has all the time been in a position to adapt to radical adjustments within the corporate world or within the market. Sometimes this additionally meant that we had to drastically reposition ourselves,” says Paul Netzsch. After the Second World War, for example, potato washing machines were designed, and through the heyday of the porcelain business, NETZSCH constructed full factories for the ceramic industry. All of these developments finally led to NETZSCH positioning itself very successfully available within the market with its “Analyzing & Testing”, “Grinding & Dispersing” and “Pumps & Systems” enterprise items. “We want to transfer this historically grown adaptability into the longer term as properly,” explains Moritz Netzsch.
Success over generations
Looking back also has a personal element. Especially when essential milestones within the company’s history could be attributed to Erich Netzsch (1903-1990) and Thomas Netzsch (1946-2010). Both managing directors have formed the corporate in their very own distinctive way and introduced it forward with groundbreaking choices. เกจ์แรงดัน and additional development of the Mohno pump underneath Erich Netzsch and the intensive internationalization under Thomas Netzsch are just two examples. The company still advantages from these formative decisions right now. After all, success at NETZSCH all the time has a cross-generational element. The same applies to an understanding of values and high quality that, for generations, has not solely targeted on the company’s own merchandise and clients, but additionally on its employees. Thus, 25- and even 40-year anniversaries are nothing unusual at NETZSCH – even internationally. The common length of service of the international workforce at NETZSCH is high at 10.6 years. At the German places, workers even stay employed for an average of thirteen years.
CFO Jens Niessner is satisfied: “You can really feel our NETZSCH spirit at every location. Our values, the financial success, the attitude for the staff – this pairing sparks an aura that makes us aggressive even in locations the place different companies with a excessive worldwide profile are situated.” The end result: Niessner repeatedly experiences deja vu during worker interviews all over the world: “I often meet workers, whether it’s in China, Brazil or Waldkraiburg, and realize in dialog: the son or daughter now additionally works for us. Our spirit just isn’t solely inherited by the owner household, but additionally by our workforce.
“We drive industrial progress”
Meanwhile, the vision for the longer term is about: in 2022, the corporate has launched a model new technique for the three business models. “We drive industrial progress to sustain a profitable eco-system via generations” – the brand new mission for the longer term reveals a strengthened will to shape things at NETZSCH. Looking back offers braveness, however above all it makes us wish to look ahead to the longer term. And this future should be characterized by innovation greater than ever.
