It becomes clear that sustainability requires a holistic view of the cybernetic model of sector coupling:
Energy and resource independence requires the joint consideration of energy and material cycles. We combine combined heat, power and cooling with mobility, but also with the use of raw materials and resources in production.The EU Commission's new Circular Economy Action Plan calls for products of the future to be more durable, robust, repairable and recyclable. The aim is to put a stop to waste and the throwaway mentality. Repairing instead of disposing is finally being rediscovered and will lead to significantly more resource independence.
Eco-design requirements have already saved €120 billion in energy costs in 2021. The EU Commission's draft Sustainable Products Initiative extends the requirements to many more product groups. The task now is to create the technical prerequisites for designing the products of the future with a much longer service life so that they can also be easily repaired and recycled. This also requires free and easy access to repair and maintenance instructions and the renaissance of a spare parts market with corresponding logistics.
The era of cheap and disposable products is giving way to sustainability - one of the few positive aspects of the massive upheavals of the past two years...
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.
