Steinecker GmbH celebrated this event in mid-September 2025 in Freising, Germany. BRAUWELT has been fortunate enough to speak to Managing Director Dr. Marcus Michel in advance of the celebration about the history of Steinecker as well as current developments and the future plans of the company, which has been built on tradition and still continues to serve the brewing and beverage industry with high quality equipment.
