TRIOPTICS Awarded With TOP 100 Innovation Award
"TOP 100" awards a prize to the most innovative German companies. TRIOPTICS GmbH belongs to them this year.
Creative and motivated employees, courage to new ideas and successful product marketing brought Trioptics into the "TOP 100" of small and medium companies in Germany. Concentration on the development of new products has successfully led to the present high position of the company and to the fact that it has been included in the list of the 100-Top Innovators in Germany. Lothar Späth handed the award "TOP 100" to TRIOPTICS in Rostock Warnemünde on July 1st, 2010.
45 creative employees bring the company in Wedel new ideas permanently. The engineers, software designers and physicists have a very precise aim: to develop, to produce and to market optical measuring instruments for the industry and research. These people are very keen not only on the maintenance of the existing technical functionality of the products, but to create an attractive design and to provide accessible prices as well. Eugen Dumitrescu, the managing director of the company, realizes that this combination is the key to success. He says: "The success of our innovative work attests that we are right. Our company is growing nationally and internationally much more than the average in our branch."
The very rapid growth is also favoured by a very creative innovative climate within the company. The new ideas presented are evaluated according to their innovation level and market potential as well as their feasibility. Through the implementation of new ideas and proposals to improve products and processes TRIOPTICS was able to increase its turnover by 8% in 2009. Since among the experts in measuring instruments there are many R&D engineers, it is possible for them to realize complex innovations and specific solutions for our customers even within 3 months. "Due to our very high qualified employees very short developing periods of time are possible, and in this way we can keep our advantage towards our competitors. Our direct competitors need much more time in order to fulfil this task", Mr. Dumitrescu stresses.
The University for Economic Science in Vienna tested the innovation capability (performance) of the 248 candidates belonging to the medium-sized companies in Germany. The best 100 companies, among them being TRIOPTICS GmbH, are allowed to show the seal "TOP 100" for one year. Mr. Dumitrescu stressed again: "Good ideas which are welcome on the market are created by means of daily hard work. We are very happy that our work and our dedication have been honoured. This also shows that we are on the right way and that our good and creative ideas will be continued in the future as well."
Altogether there are 32,500 employees acting within the TOP- 100 Innovators in Germany. They are permanently busy in finding new ideas, technical innovations and improvements. Their employers enable them, through a consequent innovation management, optimal conditions in order to give them the possibility to prove their creativity and abilities. These 248 companies are an important motor of the German economy: in 2009 they achieved a total turnover of EURO 11.1 billion. 42 companies among them are the no. 1 in their branch on national level, 10 of them are worldwide market leaders. Traditionalism does not exclude innovation and changes; this shows the fact that 60 family enterprises are among the "TOP 100". 86 of 100 companies grew more rapidly than the average of the branch during the last three years.
