KLINGELNBERG focuses on audio communication: Launch of the “Gears for Ears” podcast
22.05.2026
The KLINGELNBERG Group has commissioned its own podcast studio at its Hückeswagen site and is launching the new podcast series “Gears for Ears”. With this step, KLINGELNBERG is establishing a professional audio format for internal and external communication in the field of gear technology.
The decision in favour of a dedicated podcast format stems from the aim of conveying current topics, technological innovations and insights into the company in a contemporary, personal and at the same time technically sound manner. Podcasts offer a flexible medium for presenting complex content in an understandable way and making it accessible to a broad audience – from employees to customers, partners and industry stakeholders.
Under the title “Gears for Ears”, experience reports, background discussions and specialist knowledge relating to KLINGELNBERG will be made audible in the future. The format reflects the growing importance of digital communication channels and underscores the company’s ambition to explore new avenues in knowledge and information transfer.
With its “Gears for Ears” podcast series, Klingelnberg is launching a new communication format.
Professionally equipped studio at the Hückeswagen site
For the implementation of the project, a dedicated room at the Hückeswagen site was converted into a podcast studio. Targeted renovation work and modern technical equipment have created a professional environment for high-quality audio productions. The pleasant and quiet studio atmosphere provides ideal conditions for focused and open conversations with guests.
Regular episodes focusing on technology and practice
From now on, a new podcast episode lasting 30 to 45 minutes will be released at regular intervals. In terms of content, “Gears for Ears” covers a broad spectrum of current, relevant topics, including:
§ Use of artificial intelligence in manufacturing companies § Challenges and solutions in industrial everyday life § Insights into different corporate departments § Innovations, technology and industry trends
The series is hosted by Dr. Christof Gorgels, Vice President of Technology & Innovation, who welcomes the guests and guides them through the discussions. In each episode, he talks with changing guests from within the company as well as with external experts. This creates a varied format that combines practical relevance, technical expertise and a culture of dialogue.
Availability on Spotify and YouTube
The “Gears for Ears” podcast series is available exclusively on Spotify and YouTube. All published episodes can be streamed there regardless of time and place. In Episode 01, Dr. Christof Gorgels welcomes Matthias Göken, Director of Operations, to discuss the current challenges in manufacturing.
