As the only innovation competition in Germany, TOP 100 honors medium-sized companies for their innovation management and success. We were particularly convincing in the category “Innovative Processes and Organization”.

Around 15 employees are involved in innovation developments at our company: They test new materials, create antistatic hoses with an approval for the food sector or heatable hoses that can, for example, transport liquid chocolate.

They are also UV and weather-resistant and virtually do not age.
