The German Innovation Award was presented on Tuesday, May 26, 2020. Among the winners is the profiling system XELLAR, which prevailed in the category Machines and Engineering.

On Thursday, June 27, 2019, the Best of Industry Award 2019 was presented after a voting period of several weeks. With the profiling system 4.1, PROFILMETALL Engineering GmbH prevailed in the forming technology category. The profiling line 4.1 – Ergonomic, Efficient, Modular, Digital – embodies all these requirements in a resource-saving system. Independent production cells can be freely combined and are fully functional. Environmental protection, energy efficiency and occupational safety – enclosed by a protective hood. Plus fully functional, freely combinable production cells. This is an absolute novelty in the roll forming industry.

The BMM AWARD “Best Management in SMEs” supports the efforts of medium-sized companies to improve the quality of their management culture. In the category “Newcomer”, the evaluation of the business description is based on the “Leadership Manual for Medium-Sized Businesses”. PROFILMETALL achieved the highest score in this category so far. PROFILMETALL was awarded for its special commitment to establish a success-oriented and attractive leadership culture in German medium-sized companies. The topics of leadership, strategy and employees were considered.

Profilmetall GmbH from Hirrlingen offers a broad portfolio ranging from the development of innovative profiles to the worldwide logistics of ready-to-assemble profiles. Following the KEFF check, the company implemented energy efficiency measures from several fields of action. The company optimized the process and the building directly. The compressed air compressor and the compressed air ring line were optimized and the plant was equipped with an intelligent control system. The motor control on the production equipment was improved. The lighting has been completely replaced by LEDs, and intelligent control is also used here. The company is also focusing on heat recovery, electric mobility – including forklifts – and involving its 64 employees in the search for and implementation of efficiency measures. The company saves around 300,000 kilowatt hours per year as a result of the measures implemented.

The competition organised by the TÜV SÜD Academy and the consultancy firm EuPD Research Sustainable Management was held for the first time in 2013. The education and talent management at over 130 companies was audited and benchmarked. The PROFILMETALL Group received this award for the exemplary nature of its strategic education and talent management.

The Reutlingen Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) has honoured PROFILMETALL for its dedicated work with the following educational partners: Realschule Haigerloch (Haigerloch), Carl-Joseph-Leiprecht-Schule (Rottenburg, N.), Joachim-Schäfer-Schule (Rangendingen), Grund- und Hauptschule mit Werkrealschule Hirrlingen (Hirrlingen). The aim of the “Business in Schools” (“Wirtschaft macht Schule”) campaign is to improve the professional and future prospects of all pupils.

For outstanding results in the five main performance areas: business model, profitability, operational excellence, quality of processes and products, and sustainability. The Award, which was presented for the first time in 2011, was created by PricewaterhouseCoopers with partners Deutsche Messe AG and Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH & Co. KG.

The prize awarded by the State of Baden-Württemberg and the L-Bank is one of the most coveted honours in the industry. The selection process includes an assessment of corporate concept, entrepreneurial performance and commercial success. An additional crucial factor is that the personality of the winners and their social competence must serve as an example to other firms. More than 400 firms from Baden-Württemberg competed for the 2010 Regional Prize.

The TEMP-Award presented by Professor Lothar Späth honours companies who have successfully applied the TEMP-method® in the areas of management, customers, staff and processes to advance their companies decisively.
