Exceptionally Innovative: IKA®-Werke
IKA®-Werke is one of the most innovative medium-sized businesses in
Germany/Award presented by Ranga Yogeshwar
(firmenpresse) - Staufen, Germany, July 10, 2015 – Success as a result of entrepreneurial
vision: On June 26 at the German SME Summit in Essen, IKA®-Werke
GmbH & Co. KG has been presented with an award recognizing the
company as one of the most innovative medium-sized businesses in
Germany. "Top 100" mentor Ranga Yogeshwar honored the company
with the seal of approval: IKA®-Werke is “Top 100 Innovator” for the third
time in a row and in 2015, reached second place in the category for companies
with over 250 employees.
IKA®-Werke GmbH & Co. KG is a family business that is steeped in tradition.
In 1910, the company was founded as a supplier for pharmacies and
hospitals — today, the top innovator has its headquarters in Staufen and
is the global market leader for laboratory technology, analysis and process
technology. Being awarded the "Top 100 Innovator" seal of approval
three times is a testimony to the success of IKA®. Continuing this trend,
IKA® achieved second place in the category for companies with over 250
employees this year. The company, based in Staufen im Breisgau, employs
over 800 people at eight locations on four continents. President and
Owner, René Stiegelmann is always coming up with new ideas. He allots
70% of his working hours to innovation activities. "We set high standards
for the functionality and durability of our products. That is why we con-
stantly strive to improve on what we have achieved," explains Stiegelmann.
Since customer requirements can be very specific, the company needs
highly customized innovation processes. For example, if customers cannot
find a suitable solution in the existing IKA® product portfolio, they can
contact the Customizing Center. In this department, engineers will assess
the feasibility of a customer request. Processes can be realistically simulated
and presented to the customer on a small scale by using one or
more of the several pilot systems. In the Application Support Lab, customers
can learn more about the devices suitable for their applications or
experiments.
"Good ideas and their rapid implementation are a key competitive factor
for us," explains René Stiegelmann. "This is why we invest a great deal
of time and money in our innovation management processes. As part of
this, we rely on the wealth of ideas that come from all of our employees. I
would like to thank them all for helping us achieve the ''Top 100 Innovator''
award."
The "Top 100" seal of approval is awarded after a two-stage review
process developed by Professor Dr. Nikolaus Franke and his team from
the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Vienna University
of Economics and Business Administration. Analysts investigate the innovation
management processes and their success using over 100 parameters
across five categories. The decision on which medium-sized
company is awarded the "Top 100" seal of approval is solely made by
the analyst panel.
