What MEGLA does

MEGLA GmbH is a privately held German IT services firm headquartered in Meschede (North Rhine-Westphalia) with a second site in Dortmund, founded in 1992 and serving approximately 100 enterprise manufacturers across automotive, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, energy, food & beverage, and other process and discrete industries. The company positions itself as an industrial system integrator and OT/IT consultant, covering the full ISA-95 automation pyramid from sensors and PLCs (levels 1–2) through MES (level 3) to ERP (level 4–5). Its core technology stack rests on partnerships with AVEVA (PI System, CONNECT), MPDV (HYDRA MES, MIP, APS), TrendMiner, Databricks, German Edge Cloud (ONCITE DPS), and WAGO, supplemented by protocols such as OPC UA, MQTT, and SECS/GEM. Proprietary assets include the NUMICA unified data model platform, the MEGLA Framework for Equipment Integration (deployed globally at Semikron Danfoss), and the MEGLA Principle methodology (Revive, Transfer, Store, Refine).

The business operates four revenue streams: project-based professional services (system integration, software development, equipment integration, consulting), managed services (24/7 AVEVA PI support, ONCITE DPS operations), training through MEGLA Campus, and Data Science as a Service for predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and process optimisation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are scoped per project or via recurring managed-service contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led, leveraging direct enterprise outreach, partner referrals from technology vendors, and participation in industry networks (NAMUR, Silicon Saxony, IMW). Certifications include ISO 9001:2015, AVEVA Certified Operations System Integrator and MSP status, MPDV Gold/Integration Partner, and multiple Great Place to Work employer awards.

The company is led by Managing Director Dipl.-Ing. Stefan Weskamp. Notable reference customers include Semikron Danfoss (28 global sites), INEOS, Aurubis, Continental, EnBW, RWE, Vattenfall, Gasunie, ENTSOG, Kellogg's, Smurfit Kappa, Sekisui Alveo, and Grace Silica. Quantified outcomes reported by the company include halved production time, doubled production capacity, reduced scrap, and reduced integration costs for semiconductor module assembly; a 45-minute guaranteed incident response for 24/7 PI customers; and reduced manual effort and improved quality for MES-SCADA integration deployments.
