“We are very proud of this second award in a row and we are delighted to be a winner of the Axia Best Managed Companies Award again this year,” says Mathias Schliep, Chairman of the Thimm Group Management Board. “We understand this award as a validation of our sustainable and successful actions, in particular also in the view of independent experts.”
“German small and medium enterprises are characterised by a variety of sustainable family businesses and hidden champions. The Thimm Group stands out once again as a Best Managed Company thanks to its excellent corporate governance and it has become a role model – a particularly important signal to the entire market during a pandemic,” emphasises Markus Seiz, Best Managed Company Programme Manager and Director at Deloitte Private.
Schliep concludes, “This award is not only an award for our company, but above all for our highly motivated employees, who make a significant contribution to our success. They make optimum use of their personal expertise, our innovation and long-term investments and combine all these to create the best customer solution. The jury were also of this view, validating our path as a successful family business. We will continue to rely on these key success factors in the future.”
