BHS Corrugated has once again been honoured with the Best Managed Companies Award, marking its fifth consecutive win in this prestigious competition for excellently managed companies. The company is consistently continuing its successful growth and – as in the past four years – impress the distinguished panel of judges.
Managing Director Christian Engel and Group CFO Dr. Thomas List accepted the award at the formal ceremony held on May 21, 2026, in Frankfurt am Main. The Best Managed Companies Award is presented by Deloitte Private, UBS, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and the Federation of German Industries (BDI).
“We are delighted to be among the winners of the Best Managed Companies Award again this year. This recognition demonstrates that we are a company that excels in every respect – and it spurs us on to continually raise our standards of excellence. The award recognizes our corporate leadership and equally acknowledges the dedication of our employees as well as the trust of our customers, who stand by us even in difficult times,” commented Dr. Thomas List, Group CFO.
Christian Engel, Spokesman for the Management Board, added, “Management means bringing the future into the present. Geopolitical instability is no excuse for standing still. BHS Corrugated stands for clear decisions and long-term action. Together with our Lifecycle Partners and our global team, we will overcome the challenges of our time and shape the future of the corrugated industry.”
BHS Corrugated’s digital factory is no longer just a promise for the future, but a key driver for cost reduction. The motto “better, cheaper, faster” applies to customer solutions as well as to the entire organisation.
“Rarely has excellent corporate leadership been more important than in these challenging times. Best Managed Companies such as BHS Corrugated set benchmarks when it comes to agility and resilience: they respond quickly to today’s multiple changes and consistently view transformation as a mandate to shape the future. In an environment where what once seemed familiar is increasingly being called into question, these qualities deserve special recognition. With the Best Managed Companies Award, we honor companies that lead the way, act with courage, and serve as outstanding role models for Germany’s Mittelstand. BHS Corrugated acts with a confidence that provides orientation – now more than ever,” says Dr. Christine Wolter, Partner, Deloitte and Lead Deloitte Private.
