The focus was on strengths, potential and challenges in the four areas of strategy, productivity and innovation, culture and commitment as well as governance and finance. LAMILUX convinced the renowned representatives from business, science and media in all four core areas.
"The German SME sector is characterized by a globally unique diversity of sustainably grown family businesses and hidden champions. The LAMILUX Heinrich Strunz Group stands out once again as a Best Managed Company due to its outstanding corporate management and thus takes on a role model - a particularly important signal to the entire market in times of pandemic" adds Markus Seiz, Best Managed Company Programme Manager and Director at Deloitte Private.
Additional requirements for the application were a minimum annual turnover of 150 million euros and headquarters in Germany. Furthermore, the companies had to be medium-sized or family-owned and show a successful economic development in the past years.

Customized Intelligence - serving the customer as a programme
LAMILUX stands out among the competitors for its CI philosophy "Customized Intelligence - serving the customer as a programme". For LAMILUX this means top performance in all areas relevant to the customer, in particular as a leader in quality, innovation, service, competence and problem-solving. By striving for technologically innovative, user-oriented and customized solutions, LAMILUX aims to inspire above all committed, creative and technophile people to develop tomorrow's innovations.
But the LAMILUX corporate culture is also increasingly becoming a distinguishing feature and a success factor for the family-owned company. It is the "spirit" of LAMILUX. Because the technology and knowledge of market participants are becoming more and more similar - all the more important is how a company acts, which values are lived in the company and how it masters challenges.
Family-like cooperation leads to success
One of the most important guiding principles of LAMILUX is "We are family". Because: employees are the strength of a company and thus the central key to its aspiring success. This is why LAMILUX lives a culture of mutual appreciation, respect and trust as well as an "open door" culture.
"We attribute our success in the AXIA Best Managed Companies Award 2021 to our lived corporate culture and philosophy. This puts people at the centre of all considerations. This includes customers and suppliers as well as employees", says Dr. Heinrich Strunz, Managing Partner of the LAMILUX Heinrich Strunz Group.
