Axia Best Managed Companies Award 2021

The Axia Best Managed Companies programme is a competition and seal of quality for successful medium-sized companies run by Deloitte Private, WirtschaftsWoche, CreditSuisse and BDI in Germany. The vision: to build a national and global ecosystem of excellently managed medium-sized companies.

"With the Best Managed Company Award, we honour medium-sized companies in Germany that exemplify what is not called the backbone of the economy for nothing. It is companies like Keller & Kalmbach that not only withstand the pressure even in extraordinary times, but also find their top form under pressure. It is thanks to them that crises can also be new beginnings by recognising the increased urgency of new developments such as digitalisation and sustainability and implementing them in a way that benefits society," explains Mischa Tschopp, Market Group Head Germany and Austria International at Credit Suisse.

Keller & Kalmbach was recognised for its sustainable and value-oriented corporate philosophy in all four categories (strategy, productivity and innovation, culture and commitment, finance and governance). Together with employees, customers and partners (including Fraunhofer IML), Keller & Kalmbach has worked intensively on the corporate strategy in recent years and streamlined the organisation and created innovation spaces for its realisation. Always with the goal in mind of being able to react quickly to changes and actively implement new impulses.
