Pumpenfabrik Wangen GmbH Appoints New Managing Director and CEO

Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly important, particularly in the medical sector. In the field of orthopaedic technology, it opens up a wide range of new possibilities – enabling prostheses, orthopaedic shoe insoles, and liner covers to be individually tailored to each patient.

Wangen Pumps has enhanced the design of its trusted TWIN NG pump, significantly improving its performance and reducing maintenance requirements. The result is a proven hygienic pumping solution that performs better for longer, boosting uptime and reducing lifecycle costs for customers in the food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics manufacturing sectors.

Optimising biogas production in an Anaerobic Digestion plant requires a perfect mix of liquid and dry feedstocks, the elimination of contaminants and solid bodies. The BIO-ROXX module from Wangen Pumps accelerates the fermentation process and increases the biogas yield by mixing solid and liquid phases to prepare the ideal inoculum, limiting air introduction to a minimum and removing solid bodies such as stones.

The more different suspensions and solutions are conveyed, the greater the challenges for the pumps. For example, Honeywell Specialty Chemicals GmbH at the Seelze site in Lower Saxony, Germany, had to contend with heavy wear and cost-intensive system downtimes.

GEA looks back on a strong fiscal year and provides a positive outlook for 2025. The technology group, which focuses on mechanical and plant engineering, raised its margin guidance for EBITDA before restructuring expenses twice in 2024 and achieved its 2026 financial targets two years ahead of schedule.

Quality and efficiency – to guarantee both, precision in the handling of fluids is crucial in the chemical industry. This was also the case at a long-standing German chemical plant, which faced particular challenges when homogenising gel chunks of different sizes. The aim was to generate a steady flow with a uniform particle size.
