We are Hessen Champion 2020 in the category world market leader

For the first time in digital form, the Hessen Champions* 2020 were announced from among the finalists, who originally comprised of 79 candidates from all regions of Hesse. Normally the chairs were filled to the last seat in the past 20 years, but there was an unreal emptiness at this event, which lives from the people and what they have achieved. In his speech, Minister of Economics Tarek Al-Wazir, who is also a member of the corona cabinet, described his experience of the situation as a "bad film" and "inequality with recent years at the Wiesbaden Kurhaus", where coming together for this event was always an experience.

The winners of the Hessen Champion 2020 award are chosen on behalf of the entrepreneurial power in the companies – in three categories: world market leader, innovation and job engine. For »world market leader« we had a competitor that had to be outclassed. When Minister of Economics Al-Wazir described the company that will receive the award Hessen Champion 2020 in the category world market leader this year, the BINZEL people who were connected via a live stream began a jubilation concert that was broadcast live on the big screen of the RMCC in Wiesbaden.

Jens Schleicher was added as Speaker of the Management Board, who sees the prize as a great award especially for the employees of ABICOR BINZEL: "They work every day to ensure that we are always one step ahead. When asked about the biggest challenges ABICOR BINZEL had to face due to the restrictions caused by the current pandemic, Jens Schleicher answered: "To make the 38 international subsidiaries fit for Corona, to minimize risks, to introduce home office among other things and to design supply chains to ensure that we also have a plan B. Our employees have done a great job in implementing and managing this".
