On Thursday, November 7, 2013, there was a crucial public meeting of the local council in Hengersberg on the subject of the Schwaiger sawmill development plan amendment. It was touch and go as to whether the expansion of the biomass cogeneration plant and pellet plant at the Schwaiger sawmill by an ORC biomass power plant would be permitted. One of the decisive factors for the final, unanimous decision was that Schwaiger employee and local councillor Roman Preisinger made it clear how important the existing biomass cogeneration plant and pellet plant were for the continued existence of the sawmill with its 165 employees.
Other sawmills missed out on this development and have since disappeared from the market. The second construction phase is also vital for the continued existence of the sawmill and jobs due to the increasing demand for dried construction timber and wood pellets. Gammel Engineering is proud and happy to be able to make a significant contribution to this.
Our employees voted together and decided to support the Hölzgen family with a donation from the Gammel Family Social Fund.
The exchange on digitalization, AI and new technologies is becoming increasingly important for companies. We are therefore all the more pleased that our authorized signatory Thomas Winkler will also be supporting these topics in the digitalization committee of the Regensburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce in future.
On 12.05.2026, Gammel Engineering was once again a guest at the Waltl-Hof for the annual asparagus dinner. In a relaxed atmosphere, with excellent food and good conversation, the focus was on one thing above all: spending time together as a team.
