GEORG: Passion for technical thinking

May 23, 2011 - PRLog -- What is culture? Culture is what humans achieve by using their creativity. Art, science and technology are the fruits of culture. What unites them is their common origin in an idea, an idea which when properly implemented enables progress and development.

The founder of Heinrich Georg GmbH Maschinenfabrik worked tirelessly to realise his personal vision of technology. By keeping his focus on his goals and achieving results which would help others in fulfilling their jobs, our founder, Heinrich Georg, achieved his international breakthrough with innovative technology more than half a century ago, with his invention of the so-called Liliput shear and the first reinforcing steel straightening machine.

Mark Georg, CEO & Chairman of the Board, says looking ahead, ’We have grown into a worldwide company producing first class finishing lines, innovative special machine tools and have become the world’s leading producer of production equipment for the transformer industry. Without wanting to sound preoccupied with the past, it would be true to say that the spirit that moved my grandfather is still relevant to us today. We strive to work with our clients to develop superior solutions tailored to their businesses. This requires passion, something that is truly palpable at GEORG.’

The company is well aware of the trust placed in our personable and responsibility-conscious corporate culture by our clients, as Mark Georg comments, ’Producers of transformers around the globe include the fact that they use GEORG machines in their advertising and catalogues, as a sign of their own technical superiority. That of course makes us proud and reinforces the need for us to remain worthy of that trust.’

The family managed company recently decided on a relaunch of its brand. The renowned plant manufacturer from southern Westphalia places great importance on communicating what GEORG stands for, ’There are very strong links between our employees and the company, these links are characterised by trust and respect. Some employees’ parents and even grandparents worked for GEORG. The personable corporate culture makes us different and allows us to conti- nue winning markets with progressive ideas developed by our strong teams.’

GEORG’s strength lies in its decades of knowledge, which provide the basis for future growth.  GEORG combines extensive know-how with creativity, two things which Mark Georg thinks are interdependent, ’To react flexibly to challenges we have to keep on innovating and know what is possible. We use our knowledge and know-how to imagine innovation and to implement it. The precision with which we implement innovation ensures results in everything we do. Although we undertake unusual paths of research, we combine this with a relentless focus on results.’ The mechanical engineers clearly do not think of themselves as artists. But they do work passionately towards the achievement of a goal, which is filled with all their creative know-how and unusual ideas. In doing so one could say that they too are coming up with their own culture of technology.
