Company

Precision engineering and refreshingly uncomplicated

The engineering company Meinhardt Fulst was founded in 1994 and has undergone continuous development ever since. Over the years the number of employees grew, the range of services became more extensive and gradually more branches were added. Despite all the growth and a pronounced drive for innovation, the core of the company has remained the same as in those early years: down-to-earth and relaxed.

DIVERSITY COUNTS

A nice mix

Speaking in terms of one identity while having over 250 employees may sound a little unrealistic. But in the case of IMF, it’s actually like that. What defines us and unites us is the diversity that we live and breathe. Our teams are made up of both young and experienced colleagues.

SOLUTIONS WITH A DIFFERENCE

From small to spectacular

We work on simple, minor projects as well as the more spectacular, major projects. Partly regional, partly international. We have no work time recording system, there’s no clocking in or daily chores, but still everyone knows what to do and when. Modern digital communication makes our work easier and that is why we think analogue conversations and joint activities are so important to complement this.

PROJECTS

Listen, understand, do

The reason for the developments and growth of the past 29 years is simply that we have always made our customers' challenges our own. Once we understand what is wanted, we do everything possible to develop the right solution together. Often even more innovative and better than the task initially suggested.

In this way, we have now listened to customers and found appropriate solutions well over 6,800 times. This map details exactly how and where our branches and projects took shape.
