Congratulations at the ‘Deutscher Mittelstands-Summit’: Ranga Yogeshwar congratulated Evosys Laser GmbH from Erlangen on its TOP 100 award. The award ceremony took place on Friday, June 23, in Augsburg. EVOSYS is the defending champion and has been awarded the TOP 100 quality seal for the second time.
Erlangen, Germany. June 2023:
More than 500 companies applied for the business award, and 300 companies ultimately prevailed and received the TOP 100 2023 seal at the beginning of the year. Ranga Yogeshwar now congratulated the top innovators personally on this success as part of the ‘Deutscher Mittelstands-Summit’ in Augsburg. The science journalist accompanies the innovation competition as a mentor.
Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke from the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration had examined the innovation management and innovation success of the applicants on the basis of more than 100 criteria in five categories. A central question here is whether a company approaches innovation work in a planned manner and, for example, establishes appropriate innovation-friendly structures and framework conditions in-house.
In the scientific selection process, Evosys Laser was particularly convincing in the size category B (51 to 200 employees) in the “innovation success” category. The company is now among the top innovators for the second time, making it one of the most innovative medium-sized companies in Germany. This is an extraordinary achievement.
EVOSYS brings together plastics expertise, laser technology, optics, digitization and mechanical engineering. The offering includes modular laser systems, complemented by design consulting, process development and after-sales services. Since the last TOP 100 award in 2020, Evosys’ workforce has grown by more than half, and sales have increased by 60 percent in the last two years. Despite rising production costs and fragile supply chains, the company has come through the difficult times well thanks to high adaptability.
“We consider ourselves as an innovation leader on the market and will continue to advance the technology of laser plastic welding in the future,” EVOSYS Managing Directors Frank Brunnecker and Holger Aldebert are certain.
The TOP 100 competition is organized annually by compamedia, an independent agency. Further information can be found at www.top100.de.
