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.
In 2026, Gammel Engineering was once again ready to head to the Gillamoos! Together with our partners, we kicked off the “fifth season” in Abensberg on Friday, as is our tradition.
Michael and Gudrun Gammel rounded out the kickoff of the new yoga season with a light meal. With a particularly delicious meal featuring fish and cheese, we were able to wind down the evening in a cozy atmosphere.
Energy Transition. Here. Now. – This motto was clearly evident at yesterday’s state reception marking the 3rd Bavarian Energy Days at Schleißheim Palace. Michael Simon Gammel and Dr. Stefanie Reil were on hand representing Gammel Engineering. The evening demonstrated once again how many dedicated people in Bavaria are working every day to advance the energy transition—in municipalities, companies, initiatives, and projects.
