▶️ Yesterday in ARD Tagesthemen: MENZEL Elektromotoren.

Experienced employees are far more than skilled professionals: They are knowledge keepers, mentors, and an essential part of our company culture. That is why we are grateful for every month they choose to remain part of our team beyond their well-earned retirement.

🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ Industry Day: Celebrating the people behind our success

Today, Germany celebrates Industry Day (Tag der Industrie) an opportunity to highlight the vital role industry plays in innovation, technological progress, economic growth, and skilled employment.

To mark the occasion, we are delighted to once again welcome a television crew from Germany’s national public broadcaster ARD to MENZEL Elektromotoren.

While our electric motors and production facilities provide the backdrop, the real focus is on the people behind them. Our engineers, technicians, skilled workers, and specialists are the driving force of our company. Their expertise, dedication, and passion enable us to deliver reliable motor solutions to customers around the world every day.

We are always pleased to open our doors and offer authentic insights into our work. Because understanding industry begins with understanding the people who make it possible.

Industry is powered by people!

A sincere thank you to our entire team for their commitment, expertise, and passion. Your work is the foundation of our success.

We are proud to share that our Managing Director, Mathis Menzel, has been elected Chairman of EASA (Electrical and Mechanical Apparatus Industry Association) for the 2026–2027 term.

This is a special milestone, not only because Mathis is the first German and one of only a few Europeans ever to lead the global association, but also because it reflects a journey that started 17 years ago at his first EASA Convention.

For almost 50 years, Menzel Elektromotoren has been part of the EASA network. What began as an introduction to an industry association became a lasting connection to a global community built on trust, knowledge sharing, and collaboration.

As Chairman, Mathis will lead under the theme "Stronger Together". This is a reminder that the challenges of the future can only be solved through cooperation, innovation, and shared expertise.

Thank you to the entire EASA community for your trust. Congratulations, Mathis! We wish you a successful and inspiring year ahead!

🎨 A world premiere in the electric motor industry!

A coloring book from an electric motor factory? That's exactly what we created.

Most people never get to see how large industrial electric motors are manufactured. Yet these motors keep factories, infrastructure, and countless industrial processes running every day.

We wanted to make this fascinating world accessible in a completely new way. That's why we developed what is the first coloring book dedicated to electric motor manufacturing.

Based on real photographs from our production facility in Hennigsdorf, Germany, the coloring book takes children and families behind the scenes of electric motor production—from winding and machining to welding, assembly, and testing.

Why does this matter?

Because the skilled trades and technical professions that keep industry moving deserve more attention. We believe that curiosity about technology can start at any age—and sometimes all it takes is a coloring book.

⚡ Electric motors power our world.
⚡ Skilled people build and maintain them.
⚡ The next generation needs inspiration.

We are proud of this unique project and hope it helps young minds discover the exciting world of engineering and manufacturing.

What do you think? Would you have enjoyed a coloring book like this as a child?

🎙️What does it actually take to attract skilled workers in industrial manufacturing today? Mathis Menzel, Managing Director of Menzel Elektromotoren, has a clear answer and it has nothing to do with expensive recruiting campaigns.

🗣️ In a recent episode of the podcast "Recruiting ist Chefsache" with Jan Randy, he shares how our nearly 100-year-old family business has built something that many companies struggle to create: a workplace where people genuinely want to stay. A few things stood out.

1. Apprenticeships are a long-term investment in people who will one day help lead the company.
2. An attractive employer is built through consistency in how you treat people on the hard days, in how you make decisions, in whether your actions match your words over years and decades.
3. The best recruiters are the employees themselves.

One wall. Almost 100 years. Countless stories.

What started as an idea to showcase our company history turned into a fascinating journey through time.

Our conference room in Hennigsdorf now features a timeline filled with historical documents, rare photographs, and memorable milestones from nearly a century of MENZEL history.

Swipe through and you'll discover inventory lists from 1931, snapshots from company outings with the first generations of employees, and even the Federal Cross of Merit awarded to Kurt Menzel Sr.

One of our favorite discoveries was a handwritten chronicle created by Giesela Menzel for her husband Kurt on the company's 25th anniversary in 1952. Alongside personal notes and memories, she carefully preserved letters and inquiries from customers around the world – proof that MENZEL electric motors were already reaching international markets decades ago.

Looking back through these documents reminds us that every year of our history was shaped by people, ideas, courage, and a passion for building something that lasts.

And the best part? Our 100th anniversary is just around the corner.
Stay tuned – 2027 will be a very special year for MENZEL.

Failed mill motor. 12 cables. Zero room for onsite modifications.

In the food industry, downtime is not an option. When a customer in Italy faced an unexpected motor failure, a replacement had to be delivered fast - without any changes to the existing installation.

The requirements?
✔️ ATEX-certified
✔️ VFD-ready
✔️ Exact fit for the existing setup
✔️ Capacity for 12 incoming cables

Our solution:
A 1,120 kW squirrel-cage induction motor precisely matched to the original unit, from the mounting dimensions to the terminal box position.

What made this project especially challenging?
➡️ An unusually large terminal box designed for the customer’s complex cabling requirements
➡️ ATEX certification for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres
➡️ Reliable heavy-duty performance for demanding food processing applications

690V | 1,120 kW | IC611 TEAAC | 990 min⁻¹
Engineered to Replace. Built to Fit.

👉 Read the full project story on our website.

At MENZEL Elektromotoren, we specialize in heavy-duty motor solutions that fit even when the requirements are anything but standard.
