BHS Corrugated has once again received the Best Managed Companies Award - a prize for excellently managed companies. Christian and Lars Engel received the award for the second time, one year after it was presented in May 2022. The award ceremony took place on Thursday, May 25, 2023, in Düsseldorf. The Best Managed Companies Award is presented by Deloitte Private, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V.
"It is a special honor for us to receive the Best Managed Companies Award for the second time in a row," says Christian Engel, explaining, "It represents the values and goals of BHS Corrugated and its management. At the same time, the award confirms our commitment to shaping the future of BHS Corrugated, our customers and the industry by looking ahead strategically, developing innovative solutions and practicing sustainable corporate governance." "We want to be pioneers and respond to the megatrends of the future. The award is a positive confirmation and at the same time it motivates us to go ahead," adds Lars Engel.
The basic requirements for qualifying for the Best Managed Companies Award are a minimum annual turnover of 150 million euros and the company's headquarters in Germany. In addition, the companies must be medium-sized or family-run and have demonstrated successful economic development in recent years. If this is the case, the companies are then intensively screened in the four core areas of strategy, productivity and innovation, culture and commitment, and finance and governance by a panel of experts from the Best Managed Companies program. The winners are then selected by a jury consisting of renowned representatives from business, science and the media.
