Since Thursday, June 14, 2013 - 4:00 pm, the turbine of the biomass power plant at the traditional brewery Arcobräu has been running and generating electricity. With the Kombi Power System from Gammel Engineering, Arcobräu Gräfliches Brauhaus GmbH & Co KG is making itself independent of the general power supply and relying on a decentralized energy supply from renewable resources.
This combined power system supplies steam as well as electricity and provides the surrounding area with district heating. The brewery uses the steam to generate the heat needed to brew beer. The district heating is in operation and is already supplying the first properties.Now the final adjustments are being made to ensure that the biomass power plant constantly delivers its output of 225 kWel. The combined power system at Arcobräu is operated with wood chips, bark and landscape conservation wood.The Kombi Power System from Gammel Engineering is the new generation of decentralized energy generation. It is a leader in terms of efficiency and emission values. The Kombi Power System is modularly constructed according to individual requirements and enables gradual upgrading and expansion at any time. The Kombi Power System can generate electricity, cooling or heating, warm and hot water, low-pressure and high-pressure steam, hot thermal oil and hot air.
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.
