From a small workshop in Selb to an internationally profitable mechanical engineering group: NETZSCH is ringing in its 150th anniversary 12 months – and over 4,a hundred employees worldwide are joining within the celebration.
The beginning is a copy of the identical start-up sample we often see at present: Two brothers arrange their very own business in 1873 and, in a small workshop in Selb, developed a quality product that received over the hearth departments of the area. The fire extinguishers from the “Gebrüder Netzsch Maschinenfabrik” had been a giant seller. From there, Thomas Netzsch, a locksmith, and his youthful brother Christian Netzsch, an engineer, went on to develop machines for ceramic manufacturing that were also famend for his or her quality. With the increase of the porcelain industry at the moment within the Fichtelgebirge, the corporate finally concentrated completely on the manufacturing of the ceramics industry gear.
Thus, a hundred and fifty years in the past, the success story of a family-owned firm started, which at present spans the globe with its three enterprise models “Pumps & Systems”, “Grinding & Dispersing” and “Analyzing & Testing” – with merchandise such because the Mohno pump, moist mill and rheometer, with round 210 manufacturing and sales locations and more than 4,100 staff. Today, the NETZSCH Group is as soon as again headed by two brothers from Selb: Moritz and Paul Netzsch. As the fifth era of the Netzsch household of homeowners, they run the corporate along with CFO Jens Niessner.
“Our historical past offers answers”
What started in 1873 in a workshop in Selb has, of course, long outgrown its infancy. But NETZSCH needs to remain true to its family values and roots. In this anniversary 12 months, Moritz Netzsch emphasizes: “It is essential to me that we now have a stable, continued growth of what we do today. My want is that, with all the reflection, with all the mandatory rethinking and new pondering, we grow organically, and produce the company into the following technology stronger than ever.”
This is one of the the purpose why NETZSCH had its corporate historical past researched from quite so much of views for its a hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Looking into the past not solely substantiates values and successes, it also reveals the fit of a value proposition. “Our history offers answers as to why we have existed for so lengthy. Our slogan ‘Proven Excellence’ isn’t any empty phrase. We can prove our excellence from our historical past. One can observe how we actively formed complete industries over a few years. Along with this, NETZSCH has always been capable of adapt to radical changes in the corporate world or in the marketplace. Sometimes this also meant that we needed to drastically reposition ourselves,” says Paul Netzsch. After the Second World War, for example, potato washing machines had been designed, and in the course of the heyday of the porcelain business, NETZSCH constructed full factories for the ceramic trade. All of those developments in the end led to NETZSCH positioning itself very efficiently in the market with its “Analyzing & Testing”, “Grinding & Dispersing” and “Pumps & Systems” enterprise items. “We wish to switch this historically grown adaptability into the longer term as properly,” explains Moritz Netzsch.
Success over generations
Looking again additionally has a personal element. Especially when necessary milestones in the company’s historical past could be attributed to Erich Netzsch (1903-1990) and Thomas Netzsch (1946-2010). เครื่องมือความดัน managing administrators have shaped the company in their own distinctive means and brought it ahead with groundbreaking decisions. The discovery and additional growth of the Mohno pump beneath Erich Netzsch and the intensive internationalization under Thomas Netzsch are simply two examples. The firm still benefits from these formative decisions today. After all, success at NETZSCH always has a cross-generational element. The same 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 size of service of the worldwide workforce at NETZSCH is excessive at 10.6 years. At the German areas, workers even remain employed for an average of thirteen years.
CFO Jens Niessner is satisfied: “You can feel our NETZSCH spirit at each location. Our values, the economic success, the angle for the employees – this pairing sparks an aura that makes us aggressive even in locations the place different corporations with a high international profile are situated.” The outcome: Niessner repeatedly experiences deja vu throughout worker interviews all around the world: “I often meet staff, whether or not it’s in China, Brazil or Waldkraiburg, and realize in dialog: the son or daughter now additionally works for us. Our spirit is not only inherited by the owner family, but also by our workforce.
“We drive industrial progress”
Meanwhile, the vision for the longer term is set: in 2022, the corporate has launched a new technique for the three enterprise items. “We drive industrial progress to sustain a successful eco-system by way of generations” – the brand new mission for the longer term reveals a strengthened will to shape issues at NETZSCH. Looking back gives braveness, but above all it makes us want to look forward to the future. And this future should be characterized by innovation greater than ever. Since 2019, for example, staff have been concerned in the development of futuristic ideas in NETZSCH’s own innovation incubator NEDGEX and are always looking out for potential new business areas. In 2021, NEDGEX was honored by Infront Consulting and the business magazine Capital as one of the best Digital Innovations Labs in Germany with the Digital Lab Award.

The firm will share the assorted sides 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.
