From a small workshop in Selb to an internationally successful mechanical engineering group: NETZSCH is ringing in its a hundred and fiftieth anniversary 12 months – and over four,one hundred employees worldwide are joining in the celebration.
The beginning is a replica of the identical start-up sample we frequently see right now: Two brothers set up their own business in 1873 and, in a small workshop in Selb, developed a high quality product that won over the fireplace departments of the area. The fire extinguishers from the “Gebrüder Netzsch Maschinenfabrik” were a big vendor. From there, Thomas Netzsch, a locksmith, and his younger brother Christian Netzsch, an engineer, went on to develop machines for ceramic manufacturing that had been additionally renowned for their quality. With the boom of the porcelain trade at the moment in the Fichtelgebirge, the company lastly concentrated entirely on the production of the ceramics trade gear.
Thus, one hundred fifty years in the past, the success story of a family-owned company started, which today spans the globe with its three business models “Pumps & Systems”, “Grinding & Dispersing” and “Analyzing & Testing” – with merchandise such as the Mohno pump, wet mill and rheometer, with around 210 production and sales places and more than four,100 employees. Today, the NETZSCH Group is once once more headed by two brothers from Selb: Moritz and Paul Netzsch. As the fifth era of the Netzsch household of householders, they run the company together with CFO Jens Niessner.
“Our historical past supplies answers”
What started in 1873 in a workshop in Selb has, in fact, long outgrown its infancy. But NETZSCH wants to stay true to its family values and roots. In this anniversary year, Moritz Netzsch emphasizes: “It is essential to me that we now have a steady, continued development of what we do at present. My wish is that, with all the reflection, with all the required rethinking and new thinking, we grow organically, and bring the company into the next generation stronger than ever.”
This is likely certainly one of the explanation why NETZSCH had its corporate history researched from a big selection of views for its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Looking into the past not only substantiates values and successes, it also reveals the fit of a price proposition. “Our historical past offers solutions as to why we now have existed for so long. Our slogan ‘Proven Excellence’ is not any empty phrase. We can show our excellence from our history. One can observe how we actively shaped complete industries over a few years. Along with this, NETZSCH has at all times been capable of adapt to radical modifications within the company world or within the market. Sometimes this additionally meant that we needed 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 industry, NETZSCH built complete factories for the ceramic trade. All of these developments in the end led to NETZSCH positioning itself very successfully in the market with its “Analyzing & Testing”, “Grinding & Dispersing” and “Pumps & Systems” business models. “We need to switch this traditionally grown adaptability into the long run as properly,” explains Moritz Netzsch.
Success over generations
Looking back also has a private part. Especially when essential milestones in the company’s historical past may be attributed to Erich Netzsch (1903-1990) and Thomas Netzsch (1946-2010). เกจวัดแรงดันลมราคา managing directors have shaped the company in their very own distinctive method and introduced it forward with groundbreaking decisions. The discovery and further improvement of the Mohno pump beneath Erich Netzsch and the intensive internationalization under Thomas Netzsch are simply two examples. The company nonetheless benefits from these formative decisions today. After all, success at NETZSCH always has a cross-generational component. The identical applies to an understanding of values and quality that, for generations, has not solely centered on the company’s own products and customers, but also on its workers. Thus, 25- and even 40-year anniversaries are nothing uncommon at NETZSCH – even internationally. The common length of service of the international workforce at NETZSCH is high at 10.6 years. At the German areas, workers even stay employed for an average of 13 years.
CFO Jens Niessner is convinced: “You can really feel our NETZSCH spirit at each 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 firms with a excessive worldwide profile are positioned.” The result: Niessner repeatedly experiences deja vu throughout employee interviews all over the world: “I usually meet employees, whether or not it’s in China, Brazil or Waldkraiburg, and understand in dialog: the son or daughter now additionally works for us. Our spirit isn’t solely inherited by the owner family, but in addition by our workforce.
“We drive industrial progress”
Meanwhile, the vision for the lengthy run is ready: in 2022, the corporate has launched a model new technique for the three business items. “We drive industrial progress to maintain a successful eco-system by way of generations” – the new mission for the future reveals a strengthened will to shape issues at NETZSCH. Looking again gives braveness, however above all it makes us wish to sit up for the lengthy run. And this future ought to be characterised by innovation greater than ever. Since 2019, for instance, workers have been involved in the development of futuristic ideas in NETZSCH’s personal innovation incubator NEDGEX and are at all times looking out for potential new enterprise areas. In 2021, NEDGEX was honored by Infront Consulting and the business journal Capital as probably the greatest Digital Innovations Labs in Germany with the Digital Lab Award.

The company will share the various aspects of its historical past with its workforce, customers and partners, in addition to interested members of the public, in a magazine and an anniversary weblog.
