On his tour of Bavarian flagship companies, Martin Zeil, Bavarian Minister of State for Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology and Deputy Minister President, also stopped off at Gammel Engineering GmbH.
The FDP Minister of State, who is particularly interested in SMEs, showed great interest in the 50-man company Gammel Engineering and asked many interesting questions about the company's own innovation, the Kombi Power System.
The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) and the Combined Heat and Power Act (KWKG) were also the subject of lively discussion. For the company, which has implemented more than 250 biomass projects, the current discussion about the legal framework is both a blessing and a curse: many investors and customers are currently unsettled as there are no clear regulations for the future. This is causing them to shy away from relevant modernization investments. The Minister of State promised that the EEG would be reformed after the election and adapted to current conditions.
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.
