The Thimm family business has won the Axia Best Managed Companies Award for the second time in a row. The contest run by Deloitte Private, WirtschaftsWoche, Credit Suisse and the Federation of German Industries (BDI) is a quality seal for outstanding medium-sized companies. The award ceremony took place at Thimm’s head office in Northeim due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“We are very proud of this second award in a row and we are delighted to be a winner of the Axia Best Managed Companies Award again this year,” says Mathias Schliep, Chairman of the Thimm Group Management Board. “We understand this award as a validation of our sustainable and successful actions, in particular also in the view of independent experts.”
The quality seal has been awarded since the 1990s and has now been introduced in over 30 countries. The vision of the programme is to develop a national and global ecosystem of excellently managed medium-sized enterprises. Companies can only be recognised as Best Managed Companies if they demonstrate outstanding performance in the areas of strategy, productivity & innovation, culture & commitment and governance & finances. To this end, an independent expert council nominated the finalists who were evaluated by the jury consisting of renowned representatives from business, science and the media.
“German small and medium enterprises are characterised by a globally unique variety of sustainable family businesses and hidden champions. The Thimm Group stands out once again as a Best Managed Company thanks to its excellent corporate governance and it has become a role model – a particularly important signal to the entire market during a pandemic,” emphasizes Markus Seiz, Best Managed Company Programme Manager and Director at Deloitte Private.
Mathias Schliep adds: “This award is not only an award for our company, but above all for our highly motivated employees, who make a significant contribution to our success. They make optimum use of their personal expertise, our innovation and long-term investments and combine all these to create the best customer solution. The jury were also of this view, validating our path as a successful family business. We will continue to rely on these key success factors in the future.”
