The Siempelkamp Group has joined the Maschinenraum ecosystem.
The company says it wants to benefit from the exchange in the network for family businesses in order to tackle key transformation challenges.
Siempelkamp is currently strategically driving megatrends such as sustainability, change management and digitalization. It is also focusing on establishing new technologies and countering the effects of the shortage of skilled workers as an attractive employer.
The Maschinenraum, an alliance of almost 80 family-owned businesses as well as university partners and other innovators, is working together on the transformation of German SMEs.
Siempelkamp wants to gain from the experiences of other family-owned companies and contribute its own insights. The exchange on topics such as sustainable business models and transformation is seen as an important basis for future developments.
“The Siempelkamp Group is currently shaping its transformation, which extends to many areas of the group,” said Martin Scherrer, CEO of the Siempelkamp Group.
“In order to meet our high standards, we want to think outside the box and learn from best practice examples. We also want to contribute our experience and learnings. The Maschinenraum offers ideal conditions for this exchange.”
Tobias Rappers, managing director of Maschinenraum, sees Siempelkamp’s membership as a valuable addition.
“Siempelkamp is exemplary for the challenges that many medium-sized companies are facing today: the balancing act between the further development of proven business areas and the design of future-oriented, sustainable solutions,” said Mr Rappers
