Practice partner: Hermann Paus Maschinenfabrik GmbH
Hermann Paus Maschinenfabrik GmbH is a medium-sized family-run business headquartered in Emsbüren, Lower Saxony. The company develops and manufactures specialised machinery and vehicles for mining and tunnelling, as well as for the construction machinery, lift technology and industrial vehicle sectors.
A key feature of PAUS is its range of bespoke machines designed for demanding operating conditions. The portfolio includes, amongst other things, dump trucks, loaders and service vehicles for the mining industry.
PAUS employs around 300 staff and places particular emphasis on team spirit, initiative and personal responsibility. The company offers long-term career development opportunities and encourages employees to take on responsibility.
Mining and tunnelling are characterised by ever-increasing technical, economic, occupational and safety requirements and, due to varying operating conditions, demand bespoke technical solutions. PAUS was founded in 1968 and has therefore been active in this sector for almost 60 years.
Its long-standing experience in providing bespoke solutions for challenging operating conditions, combined with the importance placed on team spirit, initiative and personal responsibility, makes PAUS an interesting subject for study. Of particular interest here is which resources at the level of the company, the teams and the employees help to ensure that the organisation remains capable of acting even under demanding and changing conditions.
