600 Years of Selb – NETZSCH at the Goldberg

In perfect weather, the town of Selb celebrated its 600th anniversary on the Goldberg. As a long-standing partner (in business in Selb since 1873, after all), NETZSCH was naturally on hand to celebrate the anniversary in style.

Equipped with a photo booth, a cotton candy machine, and some giveaways, we welcomed visitors from near and far (we even had colleagues from Shanghai stop by our booth).

Local clubs, schools, institutions, and businesses participated in the event, offering the many visitors a varied program. From a scavenger hunt to an obstacle course and a climbing wall, to demonstrations such as rescues using lifting vehicles or water rescues, there was plenty to see and try out. All in all, it was a successful event that clearly demonstrated the wide variety of activities available in Selb.

Apprenticeship Day at NETZSCH in Waldkraiburg

Technik zum Anfassen auf dem NETZSCH Campus in Waldkraiburg! For the fourth time, NETZSCH Pumpen & Systeme held its Training Day on Saturday, May 9, under the motto “Pump up your future.” As in previous years, countless teenagers and their chaperones gathered on the company grounds.

 

In addition to a varied program offering practical insights into the various apprenticeship trades, two real highlights awaited the children and teenagers. Both the teenagers and their chaperones were thrilled.

In the training workshop, participants had the opportunity to get hands-on and demonstrate their technical skills in thread cutting. “We place great importance on giving young people practical insights early on and fostering their individual strengths,” explains Maximilian Huber, Team Leader of Vocational Training. “This is how we lay the groundwork for a successful start to their professional careers.” In addition, guided tours of the production, assembly, and logistics areas, as well as the modern office spaces, were offered, providing fascinating behind-the-scenes insights. Other highlights this year included the talking robot—a project undertaken by this year’s trainees—as well as the “Spezipumpe,” which was built by the trainees themselves. In addition, guests were able to immerse themselves in the virtual NETZSCH world and use VR headsets to experience various application scenarios and pump technologies interactively and up close.

Girls’ Day at NETZSCH in Waldkraiburg

Technical innovations arise from the interplay of different perspectives, experiences, and ways of thinking. In industrial settings in particular, it is evident that diverse teams often solve challenges more efficiently and sustainably. That is why NETZSCH views diversity as a catalyst for innovation. Initiatives such as Girls’ Day make an important contribution.

As part of Girls’ Day 2026, 17 participants tried their hand at various apprenticeship programs and gained exciting insights into the fields of IT, development, manufacturing, and assembly.

“Girls’ Day offers the opportunity to spark an early interest in technical careers and open up new perspectives. Through hands-on experiences, female students can discover their own abilities and develop a realistic picture of what technical work entails,” explains Christina Stanka, HR Specialist for Learning. The goal is to bring technical career paths to life and create opportunities that go beyond traditional role models. The day began with a welcome and reception at the NETZSCH Campus in Waldkraiburg. During the subsequent company presentation given by second-year apprentices, the participants got their first impressions. After a brief safety briefing, the group continued with a tour of the various areas of the machine-building company. Afterward, the students had the opportunity to try their hand at the selected departments and demonstrate their talent.

To wrap up the day, all participants and chaperones gathered for lunch together at Café & Restaurant FELIX. In a relaxed atmosphere, participants reflected on their experiences and had their questions answered.

Selb STEM Day 2026 at NETZSCH

What does it feel like to design your own workpiece? How precisely does a placement machine operate? And how does a digital idea turn into a finished component?

At the Selb STEM Day 2026, 20 eleventh-grade students from Otto-Hahn-Gymnasium Marktredwitz and FOS/BOS Hof had the opportunity to experience exactly that – right here at NETZSCH-Gerätebau.

Under the motto “MINT UP YOUR MIND,” the students gained hands-on insights into the world of STEM careers (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and discovered potential career paths at NETZSCH.

From Idea to Finished Workpiece

After a short company presentation, the day began with a guided tour through our laboratories and production areas. It quickly became clear how diverse our work in the Analyzing & Testing business unit is – ranging from applications in the food industry and construction materials to solutions related to aerospace.

The program then moved on to practical activities:

Electronics: Our colleagues demonstrated live how printed circuit boards for our highly sensitive analytical instruments are developed and how the first units are manufactured in-house using our placement machine. The students were able to witness firsthand how an electronic circuit becomes a fully functional component.

Design & Mechanics: From creating a CAD drawing of a bottle opener to manufacturing it in our training workshop, the students followed the entire development process step by step. Turning, milling, and soldering were all part of the experience – and for many, soldering was the highlight of the day.

More Than Just Technology

In addition to the practical insights, personal exchange played a central role. Our employees shared their own educational and career paths, answered questions about study opportunities, and provided honest insights into their daily work.

Promoting young talent is especially important to us. That is why we are proud to take part in Selb MINT Day every year and inspire young people to explore technology. Because STEM is more than just a buzzword: STEM is the future.

Germany Scholarship – University of Bayreuth

On January 27, 2026, the 29th Sponsors’ and Scholarship Holders’ Meeting of the Germany Scholarship Programme took place on the campus of the University of Bayreuth.

Following the welcome address by the university leadership, two piano performances accompanied the program and created a warm atmosphere. In between, certificates were presented to sponsors and scholarship holders – a moment that once again highlighted the strong commitment and support behind the Germany Scholarship Programme.

As the NETZSCH Group, we are pleased to currently fund two scholarships at the University of Bayreuth. One of our scholarship holders, Melina Müller (center of the picture), can be seen in the photo. The personal exchange with her and the other students clearly shows the potential, dedication, and motivation they bring. These encounters are what make the Germany Scholarship Programme so valuable to us – not only financially, but especially through direct and meaningful interaction.

During a quiz about the students’ regions of origin, accompanied by a get-together at the buffet, sponsors and scholarship holders engaged in relaxed and open conversations. In this informal setting, many interesting discussions and new connections emerged.

Proven Excellence Award 2025: When Good Ideas Become Visible

On December 17, 2025, NETZSCH’s annual Proven Excellence Award ceremony took place at the Porzellanikon in Selb. Employees from many different areas were recognized and honored by senior management and the executive board for their ideas, commitment, and special contributions to the company. At the heart of the event were projects in which colleagues improved existing processes, developed new solutions, and took responsibility beyond their own roles for the benefit of the NETZSCH Group.

In the Excellence in Operation category, among others, a new manufacturing site was honored for sustainably improving production and logistics processes and further strengthening global collaboration. Additional projects from the operational environment were also recognized for increasing efficiency and transparency in everyday work.

The Excellence in Innovation category focused on new products and solutions. This included further developments for the cement industry that reduce energy consumption. Particularly memorable was the Sunlight Pump project, a solar-powered pump weighing just 16 kg, designed for irrigation without access to the power grid and used in regions where reliable water supply is not a given.

The ceremony concluded with the Excellence by People category, which highlights employee engagement and collaboration. An education program focused on alternative proteins was recognized for opening up new development opportunities in a growing future field. In addition, the NETZSCHpeople corporate influencer program and a project on multilingual websites were honored.

The Proven Excellence Award ceremony shows that good ideas, commitment, and the courage to do things differently are seen and valued at NETZSCH. Those who take responsibility and actively help shape the company can also look forward to genuine recognition.
