50 years MEDENUS, 5 decades of gas pressure regulator technology up to 16 bar Made in Germany.
This year, MEDENUS Gas- Druckregeltechnik GmbH celebrates its 50th anniversary.
This means 50 years of manufacturing high-quality gas pressure regulators, safety shut-off valves, safety relief valves and gas filters for industry and energy supply up to 16 bar. Applications can be realised for almost all dry and non-aggressive gases, from natural gas to oxygen and 100% hydrogen as well, with increasing interest today.
The company was founded by Mr. Dieter MEDENUS in 1972 in Rösrath near Cologne. After managing the company very successfully and with great commitment for 32 years with 2 employees, he went into well-earned retirement in 2004. The company was subsequently taken over by the then former suppliers Ohm & Häner, owners of the most modern aluminium foundries in Europe, and relocated to Olpe. Due to the constant expansion of the product range and the number of employees, space became tight at this location within the next few years and planning began for the new building, which was officially opened on 1 September 2020. Only 500 m away from the old location, the new production and office building was built on a 20,000 m² site with over 3,000 m² of production space and state-of-the-art workrooms for the employees.
MEDENUS obtains all its materials from suppliers in Germany and is thus also the only company in this sector that can declare its products to be truly "MADE IN GERMANY". The local supply chain has proved to be very advantageous in recent years, as has the strategy of keeping large stocks, which has been pursued for a long time. Even in non-crisis times, the company always has a six-month supply of individual parts in stock, which are then assembled, adjusted and tested according to the specific order. Despite the current problems of the supply chains, MEDENUS has been able to maintain the standard delivery time of its products at 2-3 weeks ex works until today. In the spirit of Mr Dieter MEDENUS, who sometimes built gas pressure regulators overnight if necessary, there is also the option of express production with ex-works delivery within one week.
After many years of growth and with the significantly higher production capacities at the new location, the company is also very positive about the future and the next 50 years and is looking forward to a beautiful and successful anniversary year.
