Mankiewicz has been awarded for its commitment around innovative processes and products.
The German industrial coating manufacturer Mankiewicz
has recently announced that the company had been awarded with the TOP 100 Innovation Award, a recognition that celebrates the successful management and innovation of medium-sized companies in the German-speaking area.
The award takes into consideration the focus placed by companies on innovation, sustainability, actual impact on the market and products development and improvements. A team of scientists led by Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke from the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Vienna University of Economics and Business and by the science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar selected the best 100 companies from a wide range of industries and divided them according to their sizes.
At the 29th award ceremony, that took place on the 24th June 2022 during the German SME Summit in Frankfurt, Mankiewicz qualified among the best innovators of 2022 and received the 3rd
prize in the size category with more than 200 employees. The company was already awarded in 2015.
“Special thanks go to all our employees, who create innovative coating solutions with their inventiveness, skills and by listening carefully to our customers. After all, innovation and growth only occur where each person involved is willing to question, evaluate and optimize existing work processes. It is not difficult to set up innovation processes, but arousing motivation is the real art – and we've been doing this extremely well for a long time”, has declared Michael O. Grau, the managing director of Mankiewicz.
The Hamburg-based company Mankiewicz was founded in 1895 and has now over 1,500 employees working in seventeen production sites worldwide. Due to the recent pandemic, its focus is now on efficient antimicrobial coatings, as well as on solutions for the automotive and aircraft industry.
