Nabaltec AG is a six-time winner of the Best Managed Companies Award

Schwandorf, 24 May 2024 – Nabaltec AG is once again a winner of the Best Managed Companies Award, receiving the seal of approval for outstandingly managed companies for the sixth time at yesterday’s ceremony in Frankfurt. The Best Managed Companies program is a competition and seal of quality for successful medium-sized companies. The vision: Building a national and global ecosystem of excellently managed medium-sized companies.

“The Best Managed Companies Award honors both Nabaltec’s innovative strength and its sustainable corporate development,” said Johannes Heckmann, CEO of Nabaltec AG, who accepted the award yesterday in Frankfurt. “The long-term success of our company depends above all on the commitment of our employees, who work hard every day with a deep understanding of market requirements and exceptional quality standards.”

A key unique selling point of Best Managed Companies is its internationality: Best Managed Companies was launched by Deloitte in Canada in the 1990s and has since been successfully introduced in more than 45 countries. The basic requirements for participation in the Best Managed Companies Award are minimum annual turnover of EUR 150 million and a head office in Germany. It is also important that the participating companies are medium-sized and have been economically successful in recent years.

“The Best Managed Companies Award is by no means just a seal of approval. It is an opportunity for all applicants to explore the cornerstones of good corporate management, network with like-minded people and receive valuable feedback from neutral strategy and financial experts. For us, the exchange with founders, managing directors and decision-makers is always an important indicator of the pulse of the German SME sector. In view of the challenging economic environment, I am therefore all the more pleased that, after careful consideration, we have once again been able to recognize a number of companies with exemplary leadership in all key areas,” said Tobias Vogel, CEO UBS Europe SE.

“Nabaltec AG and the other award-winning companies provide a strong foundation of our economy. They are ‘doers’, innovation leaders and focus on sustainable corporate management. These companies look far into the future and don’t just think from quarter to quarter. This is precisely why they have earned their Best Managed Company Award,” explained Markus Seiz, Director at Deloitte Private and head of the Best Managed Companies program.
