April 1, 2025, Töging. A strong economy needs strong ties with local politics – this was the key takeaway from the visit of the Dietfurt city council to Spangler in Töging.
After a warm welcome from the management team – Tina Lambert, Christian Brandmüller, and Cornelia Hofmann – the company was introduced through a presentation. With over 500 projects in around 50 countries annually, more than 1,100 control cabinets produced each year, and a broad technological portfolio, SPANGLER is considered one of the innovative players in the field of automation technology.
Regional Commitment
The company’s community engagement in the region was also highlighted. SPANGLER traditionally employs many apprentices and supports professional development through targeted programs such as international internships and in-house training. The company is also regularly involved in supporting local clubs and volunteer efforts – whether through financial assistance for football clubs, releasing employees for fire service duties, or participating in cultural events like the local fair.
AI as a Key Topic for the Future
A special highlight of the program was a presentation on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the company by AI Consultant Michael Müller from AIM-Beratung GmbH. SPANGLER is already integrating modern AI technologies such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity. Around 70 employees actively use these tools in their daily work – and the number is growing. The goal is to make processes more efficient and ease the workload of employees. The political guests showed great interest as well – especially in terms of potential municipal applications. Topics discussed ranged from automated tenders to new challenges like AI-based fraud attempts.
Final Tour
The visit concluded with a company tour, giving the city council members a behind-the-scenes look – from digitized processes to the in-house infrastructure for sustainable energy generation. The visit wrapped up in a relaxed atmosphere with an informal get-together.
