Mankenberg GmbH is a manufacturer of industrial valves and supplies to various industries worldwide. The company’s headquarters are located in Luebeck (in the Federal Land of Schleswig-Holstein).


The German company is managed by the great-grandson of the founder Gustav Mankenberg and is active in the production of self-contained regulating valves (pressure regulating valves as well as bleeding/venting valves) and – apart from furnishing standard products – it is specialised in tailor-made solutions.



History


Gustav Mankenberg was born on August 12, 1857, in the town of Wittstock on the river Dosse/Germany as eighth child to the self-employed master blacksmith Johann Friedrich Mankenberg. He learnt the trade of a metal craftsman in Berlin, i.e. a craftsman processing metal objects of any kind by shaping, casting, turning and other processing methods.[1]


On May 1, 1885, he took over the workshop of the brass founder master Wallen in the town of Heide in the federal Land of Schleswig-Holstein and founded the company Gustav Mankenberg. Mankenberg quickly realised the development of the local market and changed the product line to reducing valves for air and carbonic acid tanks, air pumps etc. and additionally opened a samples stock and a sales warehouse at the Roedingsmarkt avenue in Hamburg.[2]


Owing to non-payments caused by an economical slump in the building industry, Mankenberg was forced to admit a partner from Hamburg to the company in 1891. However, the co-operation failed.[2]


While the company’s building hardware division remained in Heide, Gustav Mankenberg started valve production in the Hanseatic city of Szczecin.[2]


On May 1, 1895, ten years after the company‘s founding, Mankenberg made a new start in the capital of Pomerania. The city is located at the mouth of the river Oder with a connection to Berlin via the Finow Canal and the Oder-Havel Canal. That location proved successful as well as the demand from factories and shipyards such as the shipyard Vulcan Werft.[2]
In 1904 Mankenberg had the Niagara patented: a steam trap with a closed ball float made of steel that was welded by means of the autogeneous welding procedure..[2]


Due to the increased requirement for space, Mankenberg relocated to the newly erected factory on the Wiekenberg road in Szczecin in October 1910.[2] In 1912 the eldest son Ewald Mankenberg joined the company. In his capacity as steam expert, he boosted the company’s advisory competence.[3]


In April 1919 Mankenberg transferred the company to his two sons Ewald and Hellmuth.[2] In 1929 the economic crisis began: Inflation and deflation posed new challenges to the company[2][4]


During World War II the factory in Szczecin continued to fabricate steam valves until an eviction notice was received on March 23, 1945..[2]


In the summer of 1945 the company was given permission to resume production in Lübeck.[2]


In 1954 Günther Weidner, Hellmuth Mankenberg’s son-in-law, joined the company.[2]


In 1967 the Lübeck-based graduate engineer Hermann Thomsen became head of the technical office. In addition, he appeared as associate and solely responsible manager of the company at the beginning of the new decade.[5]
In the year 2002 Mr Axel Weidner, Gustav Mankenberg’s great-grandson, became sole managing director of Mankenberg GmbH.


In 2010 Mankenberg GmbH celebrated its 125th anniversary.[1]



Awards


In 2010 Mankenberg was awarded the Big Prize for Medium-Sized Enterprises sponsored by the Oskar Patzelt Foundation.[6]


Mankenberg was selected as a landmark in 2011 by the Germany – Land of Ideas initiative. Together with Deutsche Bank, the initiative was awarded the prize to Mankenberg for its money box rallye project.[7]
