Engine Manufacturing

In the engine manufacturing department, the different components literally are put together - here, a highly qualified team builds the engines. At the same time, the engine manufacturing department also represents the spatial centre of the company. The spatial proximity is vital as it allows for the fastest possible response that is necessary as all the power units bearing the name Spiess are individual-production items.

In the engine-production area, every task is executed solely with manual work and the finest mechanisms. Here, quality instead of quantity represents the yardstick.

Every single activity can be assigned to a certain mechanic and everybody has his share in the final result. During the assembly of the engine, the components are coalesced as precisely as possible and individually as necessary. Usually, just one specially trained mechanic works on an engine.

Individual responsibility areas ensure time-effective and reliable co-ordination and the most reliable mechanism. Everybody has got long-term motor-racing experience under his belt and identifies with every single Spiess Motorenbau GmbH product. At the same time, most extreme tidiness, most efficient organisation and the shortest possible distances also stand for the efficient Spiess engine-manufacturing work that ensures the adherence to delivery dates being extremely important in the fast motor-racing business. Still, despite the clearly structured workflows and the strict time schedules the family enterprise succeeds in adhering to its heartiness and its love for the product. Again, it's all about passion and the uncompromising will to win, here.
