Mehrer Compression GmbH is celebrating its 130th anniversary this year. To mark this special occasion, the employees of the Balingen-based compressor specialist got together with their families last weekend for a hike. The route led from Lochenstein to the Plettenberghütte, where the participants were greeted by a sumptuous barbecue and cake buffet as well as musical entertainment.

In his speech, Managing Partner Jörg-Peter Mehrer recalled the company's humble beginnings 130 years ago. He emphasised the pride that he and his family feel about the company's impressive development. As a traditional mechanical and plant engineering company, Mehrer Compression GmbH has developed into a successful partner to the process and process gas industry.

Jörg-Peter Mehrer drew a comparison between a mountain hike and the company's history: both are characterised by ups and downs. He emphasised that good preparation is crucial, but that setbacks and turning back are also part of the process. It is important to divide the route into feasible stages in order to achieve common goals. In conclusion, he thanked the employees for their outstanding achievements and longstanding loyalty.

Looking to the future, Mehrer spoke about the company's increased focus on the energy and environmental applications markets. Thanks to the new high-pressure compressors, the company is already firmly established in many of these areas. Today, Mehrer Compression GmbH is making an important contribution to the energy transition and plans to further expand business at the site in the long term.
