Room – The Courage of Change

75 seconds of Lenze. The videos.

Why does car tuning have to have nothing to do with rap music or wrenching? What do mechanical engineers do who want to look into the heart of their plant? And how does data actually get from the machine to cloud heaven? We at Lenze will be happy to answer these and many other questions.

It will only take you 75 seconds to learn more about our sophisticated automation systems – and the people behind them. We promise. See for yourself.

Impressions of the family celebration, the satellite events, and the MCC opening

75 years of Lenze – a special anniversary for us and a great reason to celebrate: with our customers, partners, representatives of the press, long-time companions, and all our employees and their families. In this context, we also celebrated the official opening of our Mechatronic Competence Campus in Extertal, Germany. You can find some special celebration moments in these videos.

The Courage of Change – 75 Years Lenze

Founded in 1947 by Hans Lenze as a trading company “Stahlkontor Weser”, today Lenze is a globally positioned system partner for machine automation and digitalization.

The Lenze story shows: Success is based on the courage to change.

That’s why our anniversary motto is #TheCourageOfChange. Here we tell you about our courage milestones.

#CourageforClimate - Lenze's participatory campaign: We've reached the goal.

34.8 billion tons – that’s the annual CO2 emissions that fuel global climate change. In Germany alone, the figure is 753 million tons. We all have a responsibility for this – without exception. Everyone heats their homes, consumes food, goes online, uses transportation. This is where the forest comes into play. A single tree can convert up to 22 kilograms of CO2 into oxygen per year.

In its 75th anniversary year, Lenze moved for the climate! 75,000 kilometers and many new trees were the goal. And you were all part of our #CourageforClimate campaign. For that, we thank you. Through you, reforestation projects in several countries are now being supported with a donation.

Do you know Lenze? The Quiz.

The quiz has already been played over 2,000 times, and we honored the winners at the family celebration in October 2022. But that’s still no reason to stop.

Anyone who feels like it can now continue testing how well they know Lenze.

We set the high score to zero and are waiting for new users to score.

Enjoy!

100 years of Elisabeth Belling. The film.

Elisabeth Belling was a strong woman – and always ahead of her time. Her life story is closely linked to Lenze, and the course she set for the company is still evident today. She would have turned 100 in October 2021.

Time for a special tribute. And a good opportunity for you to get to know Elisabeth Belling better.

75 years of Lenze. The shareholders interview.

Find out how the talk guests see their role as shareholders and what they see as the most important courage milestones in the company’s 75-year history.

Voices of Lenze. The Singing Challenge.

Courage is … not just singing in the shower, but singing together with the team and publishing the video in the digital Lenze Café. What would our 75th anniversary be without a birthday song? That’s right: much too quiet.

The Corporate Communications team kicks things off and nominates …
You’ll be surprised to find out who at Lenze has #TheCourageToSing.

Happy Birthday to us. The pictures.

75 years of Lenze – we can’t get enough of our favorite number this year! Whether photographed, painted, crafted, cooked, crocheted, a selfie, a child’s drawing, a sculpture made of plasticine, or whatever you have on hand and can turn into a 75.
