The company BING POWER SYSTEMS GMBH - formerly the
carburettor manufacturer Fritz Hintermayr GmbH BING-Vergaser-Fabrik
- is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. Particularly during
these fast-living times, I am proud to have contributed a little
to the success of this company.
BING has experienced highs and lows over these years. Today it is
healthy and can look to the future with confidence. This is not
to be taken for granted, as we in Nürnberg know only too well. This
location has been undergoing a thorough process of restructuring
for years, just like our most important client groups, the motorcycle
industry, manufacturers of engines for the leisure industry, as
well as the automobile industry which we are increasingly moving
into. Permanent adjustment to continuous cost pressures, worldwide
competition, even globalisation itself present small and medium
size suppliers with great challenges.
Over the decades, BING has taken over many companies, I am thinking
of Erich & Grätz, Fischer-Amal, Pallas, Encarwi and the brazing
company of FHN, and continuously adapted its production program.
Having started with saddles and tool bags for motorcycles, BING
then manufactured gas boilers from 1932 to 1945, and carburettors
since 1933 up to the present. Further footings were added in 1984
with throttle valve necks, and since the end of the 80s with oil
injector jets.
I would like to say thank you to generations of employees as well
as our customers and our suppliers who have contributed to the high
technical standard, our well-known good quality and our good name.
Particular mention at this point must be made of the generally positive
co-operation with our works council.
Whilst celebrating our 75th anniversary, we are again faced with
important changes. We are starting a new production series of induction
switch modules that will be BING'S future main focus, markedly increasing
our supplies to the automotive industry. We are rightly proud in
achieving the quality certificate to TS 16949, which is recognised
both by the American and European automobile manufacturers. We have
shown our responsibility towards the environment by being validated
to EMAS (Eco audit).
The business management wishes all BING aficionados, as well as
our clients and suppliers, continued co-operation in the spirit
of partnership and a successful future. I will do everything in
my power to imbue you with the enthusiasm for BING.
Joachim Preissl
(Managing Director)
