Werner Schmid Wins Two Gold German Stevie® Awards

In the “Company of the Year” category, the jury recognized not only our company’s extensive investments and clear commitment to Germany as a business location, but also our social engagement. In its statement explaining the award, the jury wrote, among other things: “Werner Schmid GmbH demonstrates how a medium-sized company can take responsibility, keep pace with technological advancements, and make a difference in society during times of crisis. Deserving of recognition—especially for the courage to remain committed to the local community and the level of entrepreneurial spirit.” Participation in various research projects aimed at technological advancement was also viewed favorably.

We also convinced the jury in the “Energy Conservation” category. “Werner Schmid GmbH demonstrates an exceptionally consistent climate strategy for a medium-sized industrial company,” the jury noted. In our application, we explained how strategic energy management, combined with structured data collection, stems from the sustainability commitment outlined in our corporate vision and is translated into concrete measures – from e-bike leasing and green electricity to product carbon footprints. This approach won over the jury, which heaped praise on our company: “A role model for responsible business practices among industrial SMEs!”
