Awards
Excellence in Production for
Toolmaker of the Year
The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT and the Machine Tool Laboratory WZL at RWTH Aachen University have been organizing the "Excellence in Production" competition since 2003.
Since our first participation in 2004, we have taken up the challenge every few years and put our company through its paces. From production processes and internal workflows to the financial situation and marketing, all aspects of the company are included in the competition.
This direct comparison with the best toolmakers in Germany and Europe not only provides us with great marketing opportunities, but also constantly gives us new insights into our own strengths and weaknesses. The results and evaluations are an enormously valuable decision-making aid for our future development.
In a total of nine participations in the competition, we were able to win six times in our category and once the overall victory. This makes us one of the most successful companies in the competition and the current record holder for the most category wins!
We will once again be among the participants in 2024 and hope that – exactly 20 years after our first participation – we will be able to build on our previous successes.

Traumfirma-Award
The Traumfirma-Award (transl. Dream Company-Award) is presented to companies that are characterized by a particularly employee-friendly and appreciative corporate culture. As it is based on an absolutely anonymous employee survey and is therefore primarily awarded by the employees themselves, we are particularly proud that we were already above the benchmark in all criteria when we first took part in 2018 and were able to achieve even better scores in the follow-up participations in 2021 & 2023, despite corona and various other crises.
Our employees and their expertise are the most important resource for the success of our company. We will therefore continue to emphasize a familiar working atmosphere and a pleasant environment in the future.
