What a great success: the Max Bögl construction company is now generating its own electricity. The turbine is running and turning stably at the nominal speed of 25,500 rpm (revolutions per minute). The first tests have been carried out successfully and the safety shutdowns are also working perfectly.
"After two and a half weeks of dedicated continuous operation, the commissioning team is now taking a well-earned break until Monday," says Gammel Engineering Project Manager Thomas Winkler. "We will restart the system on Monday and will probably feed the first power into the public grid on Tuesday." In addition to the grid synchronization of the turbine, further turbine tests and training of the operating personnel are planned for the coming week.With the Kombi Power System from Gammel Engineering, Max Bögl, Germany's largest privately owned construction company, is focusing largely on environmentally friendly, decentralized energy supply from renewable resources.
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.
