Multivac receives an award

Mul­ti­vac is a win­ner of the Axia Best Man­aged Com­pa­nies Award 2020, a seal of approval that is award­ed by Deloitte, WirtschaftsWoche, Cred­it Suisse and BDI to com­pa­nies, which are judged to be out­stand­ing­ly well man­aged. Chris­t­ian Trau­mann, Group Pres­i­dent of Mul­ti­vac, accept­ed the award yes­ter­day in Munich.

 Medi­um-sized com­pa­nies are extreme­ly impor­tant to the Ger­man econ­o­my. The Axia Best Man­aged Com­pa­nies Award gives recog­ni­tion to those medi­um-sized or fam­i­ly-owned com­pa­nies based in Ger­many, which are judged to have exem­plary man­age­ment. The par­tic­i­pat­ing com­pa­nies were able to qual­i­fy for the award through a mul­ti-stage process. The eval­u­a­tion was based on the four core areas of Strat­e­gy, Pro­duc­tiv­i­ty & Inno­va­tion, Cul­ture & Com­mit­ment, and Finances & Gov­er­nance. The prize win­ners were then select­ed by a jury, con­sist­ing of well-known rep­re­sen­ta­tives from com­merce, sci­ence and the media.

“As one of the prize win­ners, Mul­ti­vac impressed the judges with its first-class com­pa­ny man­age­ment — thanks to its great strength of inno­va­tion, its long-term strate­gic aims, and its very strong gov­er­nance struc­tures. Mul­ti­vac is there­fore not only the bench­mark for out­stand­ing­ly well man­aged medi­um-sized com­pa­nies, it is also emblem­at­ic of the future of Ger­many as a major eco­nom­ic cen­tre,” empha­sizes Lutz Mey­er, Part­ner and Head of the Pro­gram for Medi­um-Sized Enter­pris­es at Deloitte.

“We are con­stant­ly striv­ing to fur­ther opti­mise our busi­ness process­es, and to align our range of prod­ucts and ser­vices ever clos­er to the cur­rent require­ments of the mar­ket and our cus­tomers,” said Chris­t­ian Trau­mann, Group Pres­i­dent of Mul­ti­vac. “The award is there­fore very pleas­ing as con­fir­ma­tion of our com­pa­ny strat­e­gy and the efforts of all our staff.”

Chris­t­ian Trau­mann also stat­ed, that a fun­da­men­tal fac­tor in the com­pa­ny’s suc­cess was the wide prod­uct range, which is con­stant­ly being adapt­ed to the needs of the mar­ket­place, and which extends from indi­vid­ual machines for small hand­craft com­pa­nies to ful­ly auto­mat­ed pro­duc­tion lines. These include solu­tions for a wide spec­trum of appli­ca­tions — from food pro­cess­ing and pack­ag­ing through to med­ical prod­ucts and indus­tri­al items. The suc­cess of Mul­ti­vac is also found­ed on the inter­na­tion­al nature of the com­pa­ny. Thanks to its 87 sub­sidiaries through­out the world, Mul­ti­vac is not only able to stay clos­er to its cus­tomers and guar­an­tee short­er deliv­ery times, but also com­pen­sate for eco­nom­ic risks in some regions with new oppor­tu­ni­ties in oth­ers. And last but not least, as Chris­t­ian Trau­mann sum­marised in con­clu­sion, the high lev­el of in-house ver­ti­cal man­u­fac­tur­ing also makes a major con­tri­bu­tion to the com­pa­ny’s success.

The Axia Best Man­aged Com­pa­nies (BMC) Pro­gram is a com­pe­ti­tion organ­ised by Deloitte, WirtschaftsWoche, Cred­it Suisse and BDI in Ger­many, and it is a seal of approval for medi­um-sized com­pa­nies. The vision is to build up a nation­al and glob­al struc­ture of out­stand­ing­ly well man­aged medi­um-sized com­pa­nies. A sig­nif­i­cant and unique fea­ture of the BMC is its inter­na­tion­al char­ac­ter: it was found­ed in the 1990’s by Deloitte in Cana­da, and it has since been intro­duced suc­cess­ful­ly in more than 20 countries.
