Huber Kältemaschinenbau receives coveted ‘Grand Prix of SME’

Published: 8-Oct-2015

Company performance as well as employee commitment and diligence are honoured

Small and medium enterprises do not only shape the economy - they are the economy. SMEs have created millions of new sustainable jobs in industry, trade, services, and handcraft – virtually unnoticed by the public. For this reason, the 'Great Award for Small and Medium Enterprises' was advertised for the 21st time.

No other economic competition in Germany receives such an enormous response as the 'Great Award for Small and Medium Enterprises', awarded by the Oskar Patzelt Foundation in Leipzig. The award does not bear any monetary value. For the participating companies, it is all about the honour, public acknowledgement, and confirmation of their performance.

The awards gala for the competing regions of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, and Thuringia took place on 26 September in Würzburg. More than 400 entrepreneurs and numerous invited guests participated, including Offenburg-based Peter Huber Kältemaschinenbau. The manufacturer of high precision thermoregulation was honoured as one of the five 'finalists' from Baden-Württemberg, prevailing against strong competitors. More than 5,000 small and medium enterprises were nominated for the 2015 competition Germany-wide, which is a new record in the competition's 21-year history. Huber was nominated by the City of Offenburg and Volksbank Offenburg.

General Manager Joachim Huber received the coveted award winner statue.

'We are proud of receiving this great award for our work. Many successful companies from different industries have been nominated for this award. We have convinced the jurors of our company. The award confirms our company objectives and is a great motivation to further pursue our path regarding job protection, innovation, and environmental responsibility,' he said.

According to the jury, the honoured companies convinced them with their economically healthy overall development, their creation and protection of jobs and trainee positions, product innovations, responsibility to society, and they are involved locally and are one of the leading companies in their industry sector regarding customer orientation, service and marketing.
