Mallerstetten, December 12, 2025 – In a festive setting, Spangler GmbH honored long-serving employees who have shaped the company over many years with their dedication and commitment.
A total of 13 employees were recognized for their long-standing service, together contributing an impressive 270 years of experience, expertise, and dedication to the company.

Honoring Long-Serving Employees
Surrounded by department heads as well as the honorees themselves, Managing Partner Tina Lambert presented the awards to this year’s jubilarians. At the heart of the ceremony were individual tributes in which Lambert highlighted each employee’s personal career path and achievements.

It is a great pleasure for us to honor your achievements together and to extend our sincere thanks to each and every one of you,” Lambert emphasized in her address.
Jubilarians Shape the Company – Past, Present, and Future
The longest-serving employee, Helmut Weigl, has played a particularly significant role in the company’s history for 40 years – having started as an apprentice, he went on to become Head of the IT Department and has been a constant and valued presence at Spangler for decades. Martina Glas, Thomas Neger, and Hubert Rackl were honored for an outstanding 35 years of service.
All award recipients stand as symbols of the stability, team spirit, and expertise that have defined Spangler for decades. They have helped shape the company and continue to play a key role in ensuring that Spangler is today one of the high-performing partners in the field of automation technology.

These creative impulses are crucial to ensuring that Spangler can continue to respond with strength and focus to developments in markets and technologies in the future.
