When Felix of Nathusius thinks into the
future, he also has a piece of the past in
mind. “Magdeburg is home to a historical sense
of enthusiasm for mechanical engineering,” explains
Nathusius. In this respect, he recalls the
times when, driven by companies such as Polte,
Wolf and Gruson, Magdeburg was the top location
in Germany for mechanical engineering
and had a worldwide reputation. The history
of the Nathusius family is also closely linked to
the industrialisation of the Magdeburg region:
Johann Gottlob Nathusius founded one of the
first industrial groups in Germany at the beginning
of the 19 th century.
“Unfortunately, Magdeburg is no longer on the
global map for mechanical engineering these
days. Despite this, mechanical engineering has
left an incredible amount of DNA behind. It
isn’t dead, it isn’t gone and it certainly can’t
be ignored,” says Nathusius with a sense of
conviction.
Felix von Nathusius and his business
partner Karl-Thomas Klingebiel want
to tap into that successful era of mechanical
engineering. With Inteb-M, the holding company
which was founded in 2017, they have a
vision of revitalising mechanical engineering in
the state capital and establishing it on a global
basis. The holding company brings together
industrial and technology holdings from the
mechanical engineering sector and develops
them further in the form of a network. Inteb-M
initially acquired the mineral casting specialist
IZM Polycast, which uses an intelligent material
to cast components for the European market.
IZM also develops solutions for measurement
and medical technology, however. This was
followed by the holding in the machine tool
