Follow-up 5: Commitment - not just professionally
So tell me, Mr. Gammel, what other topics are close to your heart?
For the Gammel family - and I naturally include our employees in this - social and voluntary commitment is very important. We like to take on responsibility in society. Years ago, my wife and I founded the Cabrini Haus circle of friends and support it in the long term. Up to 200 children and young people with disabilities are accommodated in the facility run by the Catholic Jugendfürsorge Regensburg. They are cared for, taught and prepared for a life with the greatest possible independence.
Everyone should be able to experience the feeling of a grateful, trusting smile from a disadvantaged Cabrini child! Many of the campaigns are also supported by my Lions Club Kelheim Holledau or by the Chaine des Rotisseurs, the international association for friends of tableware and dining culture. I am also actively involved in representing the interests of companies in the region as IHK chairman for the district of Kelheim.
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.
