This makes the company one of the 5 winners in Baden-Württemberg to have won this award. A total of over 4,600 medium-sized companies were nominated throughout Germany.

• The “Grand Prix of Medium-Sized Businesses” is one of the most prestigious business awards in all of Germany, and was held this year for the 27th time by the Oskar Patzelt Foundation.

Under the motto “Now more than ever”, the companies are not only measured by economic key figures, but viewed as a whole. The creation of jobs and apprenticeships, as well as social commitment in the region and society, play a major part even in times of corona.

Managing director Dr. Andreas Ecker:

“We are very proud that we could convince the jury of our company. The award is a great honor for us, and confirms that we are on the right track with our decisions. We will continue this with motivation and sustainability.”
