Follow-up 2: Entrepreneurship as a passion.
So tell me, Mr. Gammel, why did you start your own business? You could have had a "quiet and tranquil" life as an employee?
Performance and work are fundamental parts of my life: for me, commitment is crucial both at work and in my circle of friends and social life. I am happy to take on responsibility, shape the future and play my part in society. Professionally, however, I don't see much difference between being an employed manager and being the owner - the demands are comparable. It's a question of inner attitude, how I fulfill my position and what expectations I have of myself.
What drives you - what is your motivation?
The pursuit of the best solutions, of perfectionism! There is no mediocrity at Gammel Engineering. My main source of motivation, however, is my team, in which each individual delivers their best professional performance and with whom I go through thick and thin: Through shared successes, but also through setbacks - this cohesion is an irreplaceable incentive.
On June 2, 2026, we welcomed the newly elected state chairman of the FDP Bavaria, Matthias Fischbach, as well as the new Secretary General Daniel Kuhagen together with the FDP Kelheim - represented by Susanne Blask and Dr. Heinz Kroiss - at Gammel Engineering in Abensberg.
Yesterday, we welcomed a special visitor to Gammel Engineering: the cyclists of the Glückstour 2026 made a stop at our premises. With great personal commitment, they are collecting donations for children with cancer and serious illnesses on their tour. This impressive initiative has been moving people and providing concrete help for many years.
Our employees voted together and decided to support the Hölzgen family with a donation from the Gammel Family Social Fund.
