From a small workshop in Selb to an internationally profitable mechanical engineering group: NETZSCH is ringing in its 150th anniversary 12 months – and over four,100 staff worldwide are joining in the celebration.
The beginning is a copy of the same start-up pattern we regularly see today: Two brothers arrange their own business in 1873 and, in a small workshop in Selb, developed a high quality product that won over the fire departments of the area. The fireplace extinguishers from the “Gebrüder Netzsch Maschinenfabrik” were a giant vendor. From there, Thomas Netzsch, a locksmith, and his youthful brother Christian Netzsch, an engineer, went on to develop machines for ceramic manufacturing that had been additionally famend for his or her high quality. With the boom of the porcelain industry at that time in the Fichtelgebirge, the corporate finally concentrated completely on the manufacturing of the ceramics business tools.
Thus, one hundred fifty years in the past, the success story of a family-owned company started, which right now spans the globe with its three enterprise models “Pumps & Systems”, “Grinding & Dispersing” and “Analyzing & Testing” – with merchandise such as the Mohno pump, moist mill and rheometer, with around 210 manufacturing and gross 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 householders, they run the corporate along with CFO Jens Niessner.
“Our history provides answers”
What began in 1873 in a workshop in Selb has, after all, lengthy outgrown its infancy. But NETZSCH needs to remain true to its household values and roots. In this anniversary yr, Moritz Netzsch emphasizes: “It is important to me that we now have a stable, continued development of what we do today. My wish is that, with all the reflection, with all the mandatory rethinking and new considering, we grow organically, and produce the corporate into the following era stronger than ever.”
This is considered one of the the reason why NETZSCH had its company history researched from a selection of perspectives for its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Looking into the previous not only substantiates values and successes, it also reveals the match of a price proposition. “Our history offers solutions as to why we now have existed for thus lengthy. Our slogan ‘Proven Excellence’ isn’t any empty phrase. We can prove our excellence from our history. One can observe how we actively shaped entire industries over many years. Along with this, NETZSCH has at all times been able to adapt to radical modifications in the company world or in the market. Sometimes this additionally meant that we had to drastically reposition ourselves,” says Paul Netzsch. After the Second World War, for instance, potato washing machines have been designed, and through the heyday of the porcelain business, NETZSCH constructed full factories for the ceramic industry. All of those developments ultimately led to NETZSCH positioning itself very successfully in the market with its “Analyzing & Testing”, “Grinding & Dispersing” and “Pumps & Systems” business items. “We want to transfer this traditionally grown adaptability into the long run as nicely,” explains Moritz Netzsch.
Success over generations
Looking again additionally has a private component. Especially when important milestones within the company’s historical past can be attributed to Erich Netzsch (1903-1990) and Thomas Netzsch (1946-2010). Both managing administrators have shaped the company in their very own distinctive method and brought it ahead with groundbreaking choices. The discovery and additional development of the Mohno pump underneath Erich Netzsch and the intensive internationalization under Thomas Netzsch are simply two examples. The firm still benefits from these formative decisions at present. After all, success at NETZSCH at all times has a cross-generational component. The similar applies to an understanding of values and quality that, for generations, has not only focused on the company’s own products and customers, but also on its employees. Thus, 25- and even 40-year anniversaries are nothing unusual at NETZSCH – even internationally. The common length of service of the worldwide workforce at NETZSCH is excessive at 10.6 years. At the German places, employees even remain employed for an average of 13 years.
CFO Jens Niessner is convinced: “You can feel our NETZSCH spirit at every location. Our values, the economic success, the perspective for the workers – this pairing sparks an aura that makes us aggressive even in locations where other firms with a excessive international profile are located.” The result: Niessner repeatedly experiences deja vu during employee interviews all over the world: “I usually meet workers, whether it’s in China, Brazil or Waldkraiburg, and realize in conversation: the son or daughter now also works for us. Our spirit is not only inherited by the owner family, but additionally by our workforce.
“We drive industrial progress”
Meanwhile, the imaginative and prescient for the longer term is ready: in 2022, the corporate has launched a new strategy for the three enterprise models. “We drive industrial progress to sustain a successful eco-system through generations” – the model new mission for the future reveals a strengthened will to form things at NETZSCH. Looking back provides braveness, however above all it makes us wish to sit up for the lengthy run. And this future must be characterised by innovation more than ever. Since 2019, for example, employees have been concerned in the improvement of futuristic ideas in NETZSCH’s own innovation incubator NEDGEX and are always looking out for potential new enterprise areas. In 2021, NEDGEX was honored by Infront Consulting and the business journal Capital as one of the best Digital Innovations Labs in Germany with the Digital Lab Award.
