30 Years of IGEL

30 Years of IGEL – Looking Back and Moving Forward

For three decades, IGEL has stood for engineering excellence, a spirit of innovation, and collaborative partnership. What began 30 years ago with a clear vision has evolved into a trusted development partner within the automotive industry and beyond. This anniversary offers an opportunity to reflect on key milestones—while also setting our sights firmly on the future.

portunity for us to reflect on key milestones—while also looking ahead to the future.

Looking Back – Three Decades of Engineering Expertise

When IGEL was founded, the automotive industry was undergoing a period of profound technological transformation. Increasing demands for efficiency, performance, and reliability posed ever more complex challenges for engineers. From the very beginning, IGEL set out to address precisely these challenges—through sound engineering, creative solutions, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.

Over the past 30 years, IGEL has continuously evolved. What started with initial projects and small teams has grown into a well-established engineering company that now supports numerous development projects for leading partners in the automotive sector. Its expertise spans the entire development process—from concept design and engineering to simulation and series production.

A key factor in this success has always been the expertise of our employees. Their dedication, experience, and passion for technology have shaped IGEL into what it is today: a reliable partner for complex and demanding development projects.

Technologically, too, much has changed over the past three decades. From conventional powertrain concepts to new energy and mobility solutions, IGEL has accompanied and actively shaped many developments. This ability to continuously adapt and embrace emerging technologies remains a defining characteristic of the company.

Looking Ahead – Shaping the Future

Mobility is currently undergoing a profound transformation. Electrification, digitalization, and new mobility concepts are fundamentally reshaping the requirements placed on vehicles and their development. For IGEL, this primarily means one thing: new opportunities.

Looking ahead, the company will continue to expand its core strength—high-quality engineering services. In doing so, IGEL deliberately pursues innovative approaches and no longer sees itself solely as a traditional automotive service provider. While we continue to work on powertrain development projects, we are equally successful in addressing technical challenges and advancing developments across other industries.

With decades of accumulated expertise, we are ideally positioned for the future. Our experience in areas such as lightweight design, cost optimization, efficient development processes, prototype development through to large-scale production, as well as functional integration, packaging optimization, simulation, and validation of complex systems, provides a solid foundation.

Thank You for 30 Years of Trust

An anniversary is also a moment of gratitude. IGEL would like to thank all employees, customers, partners, and companions who have supported and shaped the company over the past 30 years.

Together, we look forward to continuing this successful journey—with curiosity, innovative strength, and a passion for technology that has defined IGEL for three decades.

Here’s to the next 30 years.
