The Osterkamp brothers - generational change with courage and machines

December 11, 2025

Osterkamp – a family business from Dülmen that has stood for precision mechanical engineering for decades and is now in its third generation. Three brothers, one common aspiration: to take responsibility, make bold decisions and lead their father’s company successfully into the future. In this episode of Maschinengeflüster, Alex, Tobias and Marvin Osterkamp talk to Florian König from MTE about the long-standing partnership between Osterkamp and MTE Fräsmaschinen.

The focus is on major investments in modern technologies, typical challenges of generational change and how strategy and everyday life change when you are suddenly at the helm yourself. The brothers share authentic insights into their journey, talk about the courage to change, the family’s heritage and the role of high-performance milling machines in their production. An inspiring conversation about tradition, innovation and the special foundation of family businesses in mechanical engineering – ideal for anyone who wants to experience the change of generations up close.
