GEORG once again honoured for its efforts in climate protection
Already for the second time in series GEORG has been awarded for its exemplary efforts in climate protection by councelor Andreas Müller.
Hees Bürowelt and KYOCERA honoured GEORG for using toners from climate neutral production. The CO2 amount arising by production and usage of toners is neutralized by the climate protection projects of myclimate.org.
One of the numerous KYOCERA climate protection projects of myclimate supports the expansion of efficient and climate neutral cookers in rural areas of Siaya region in western Kenia. Even jobs are created by producing these cookers locally. Within the KYOCERA climate protection project already more than 59.000 efficient cookers have been installed.
This is not only a good contribution for the environment but also a sustainable support for the people in Siaya region: Thanks to the climate protection project the living conditions of more than 300.000 people could be improved.
“Responsible and sustainable acting represents a central element of GEORG’s company policy. This is why we feel honoured and proud by the award even more“ states Anna Schlabach, head of GEORG Academy, when she received the award on behalf of the company.
Thank you Branco.
For 37 years, our colleague Branco Matejka provided our customers with help and advice. First in service for many years, then as a Sales Engineer. With the exception of Australia and New Zealand, he has traveled the whole world for us. And finally, he trained his successor, our former dual student Felix Wacker. Now his retirement begins.
We will miss you, Branco. As a full-blooded transformer man. As a GEORGian. As a person. Thank you, Branco.
Our trainees visit one of our customers in Salzgitter
Last year we were able to visit our customer Schütz GmbH & Co. KGaA in the Westerwald with around 50 GEORG trainees and dual students and spend a great day together with the Schütz trainees. This week, our two-day training trip went to our long-standing customer Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH, where we also have many GEORG machines and lines in operation.
Many thanks for the friendly welcome and the super interesting tour of the plant!
Happy 70th birthday to B.Wirtz
How nice is it when we visit our former colleague from the transformer line division at home to wish him a happy 70th birthday and he surprises us with a GEORG cake?
Children at GEORG
Our focus is not only on our employees, but also on our young visitors! We strive to create a family-friendly environment in which children are very welcome. Whether at special events or in our premises such as our parent-child office - even the little ones feel at home with us.
More room for growth
We are very grateful for the trust of our global customers from all product areas, who have given us significant growth, particularly in recent years. That is why we are continuing to invest in the future - not only in terms of technology and man power, but also in our own infrastructure, particularly in Germany and North America.
For example, we are currently building a new additional assembly hall in our new Plant 3 at our Headquarters in Kreuztal/Germany, and we are doing so in record time. We will celebrate the topping-out ceremony there in June and assemble the first units and machines for our customer orders there in the summer.
Welcome to the future.

Technology lessons
For almost a year now, the GEORG training workshop has regularly been transformed into a classroom in which the technology course at Kreuztal secondary school works together with GEORG trainees for a day of practical tasks. This allows the pupils to get out of their everyday school routine and get a taste of technical professions.
