2025 marks a very special milestone for Messerfabrik Neuenkamp: The company celebrates its 100th anniversary and has realigned its management team for the future.
Over the past century, they have grown together with employees, partners, and customers. What began as a small company in Remscheid has developed into a globally leading manufacturer of high-precision tools for slitting and trimming systems used in the processing of steel and non-ferrous materials. Founded in 1925 in Remscheid, the name Neuenkamp has stood for quality and precision from the very beginning. In 1976, the company became part of the family-owned DIENES Group, and in early 2019, it moved into a modern production site in Hückeswagen, featuring more than 4000 m² of state-of-the-art manufacturing space. Both were key milestones that have opened up new opportunities and further strengthened their position in the market.
Messerfabrik Neuenkamp welcomes Martin Geveke and Maja Supe-Dienes
Two new members have now been added to the management team. Together with Rüdiger Uhlitz, who has been with Neuenkamp for 30 years – 22 of them as part of the management board – Martin Geveke and Maja Supe-Dienes will actively shape the company’s future.
Martin Geveke joins as Technical Director, bringing over 20 years of leadership experience, a practical and solution-oriented management style, and outstanding technical expertise. He will take over, among other things, the responsibilities previously held by Sebastian Dörmbach, who has left the company and is no longer part of the management team.
For the first time in Neuenkamp’s history, they are also welcoming a member of the founding Dienes family to the management. Maja Supe-Dienes takes on the role of Commercial Management at Messerfabrik Neuenkamp. After completing her Master’s degree in Management at ESMT Berlin, she initially worked for a leading management consultancy and has been part of the DIENES Group since 2023. Together with her brother Julian, she will continue to lead the Group into the future as a fourth-generation family business – with foresight and a strong sense of family values.
After almost five decades with the company, Dipl.-Ing. Rudolf Supe-Dienes, Managing Director of the third generation, will retire at the end of the year. This marks a successful generational transition for both the DIENES Group and Messerfabrik Neuenkamp.
100 Years of Messerfabrik Neuenkamp
Throughout the past 100 years, the company has continuously evolved:
• Specialising their product portfolio in precision slitting tools for the processing of steel, metals, and non-ferrous materials.
• Continuous investment in innovation and advanced manufacturing technologies.
• A major milestone: the relocation to a state-of-the-art facility in Hückeswagen in 2019, setting new standards in precision, efficiency, and working environment.
Today, Messerfabrik Neuenkamp is proud to be recognised worldwide as a reliable partner for high-precision slitting tools — a success they owe above all to the commitment and expertise of their team.
The company celebrated this special anniversary in style. In September, the factory opened its doors and hosted a large family anniversary celebration. Together with customers and partners, they celebrated at a festive anniversary reception at Blechexpo in Stuttgart and raised a toast to many more years of trusting collaboration!
“We would like to thank everyone who has accompanied us on this journey — whether as part of our team, as a business partner, or as a customer. Without your support, your trust, and your passion for precision, this success story would not have been possible,” the company wrote in a press statement.
