GEORG: "It's time to take a stand!"
The current demonstrations against the rise of right-wing extremism in Germany are also affecting the local economy. It has been clear for a long time that this is not only a democratic threat, but also an economic one. GEORG in Kreuztal has decided that we need to take a stand right now.
The recent order from Baosteel Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. comprises three GEORG ultragrind SG-2 grinding machines for work rolls and one GEORG ultragrind 25 machine capable of processing both back-up and work rolls.
All four machines will operate within the automatic zone of the roll shop where all logistical and machining processes are performed without any manual intervention. The machines will be integrated into the existing roll shop management system and centrally operated from a common control room. Therefore, GEORG will equip the grinders with GEORG smartcontrol, a machine control system that ensures smooth integration into fully automatic operating environments. The GEORG machines for the Zhanjiang works were also supplied complete with GEORG smartcontrol and have proved highly productive and efficient in operation. With its user-friendly HMI, the system forms an efficient link between the machines and the operators. Additionally, innovative measuring and inspection systems guarantee optimal quality of the reconditioned rolls.

Jakob Niederhofer's internship report at GNA
My name is Jakob, I am 20 years old and I completed my six-month internship at GEORG's subsidiary in Roanoke/USA. I was born near Koblenz. After graduating from high school, I moved to Reutlingen near Stuttgart to complete my engineering degree (International Project Engineering). This study program has an international focus. Now it was time to put what I had learned in theory to the test.
The USA was particularly appealing to me, as I had never been there before and I also took the opportunity to improve my English there, which would benefit me in the further course of my studies.

Building site part I
Dear Alumni Portal,
After a short break, we are back today with a post from the "What's new at GEORG" section. But before we reveal more, we would like to know what you think a new hall is being built for? And do you recognize where it is being built?
Best regards

GEORG markenwerk Relaunch (2024)
May we present to you: The new GEORG living room.
We not only welcome our visitors and guests here in a relaxed atmosphere. It is also a communication and chilled-out workspace for our employees. The one or other after-work party will certainly also take place here. We are particularly looking forward to this year's European Football Championship. We're sure to watch a few games here and have a nice barbecue on the terrace next door.
That's what we call working & living at GEORG.

Technology lessons
For almost a year now, the GEORG training workshop has regularly been transformed into a classroom in which the technology course at Kreuztal secondary school works together with GEORG trainees for a day of practical tasks. This allows the pupils to get out of their everyday school routine and get a taste of technical professions.
