JOY IN LUDWIGSBURG

This year, it is already the fifth time that Zedler-Institut has been nominated for “Großer Preis des Mittelstandes” (Grand Prix of Small and Medium Business); in 2016 the company group made it into the final. All the greater is the joy that the “Grand Prix of Small and Medium Business” award was finally presented to the Ludwigsburg company. The award was presented for an innovative business model and the operations management of strongly increasing the owner’s capital share during an enormous growth by binding the employees for many years at the same time.

Managing Director Dirk Zedler with the award.

Dirk Zedler’s comment on the ceremony: “This award is a great gift for our 25th company anniversary and confirms once again our performance. At the same time it is a motivation to present us with innovative ideas and entrepreneurship in the industry and to continuously further develop our business fields.”

Under the motto “Shaping the Future” the Awards Gala of the Oskar-Patzelt-Foundation took place on the occasion of the 24th competition for the competitive German federal states Baden-Wuerttemberg, Hesse, Bavaria and Thuringia. During the evening, the executive board members of the Oskar-Patzelt-Foundation, Dr. Helfried Schmidt and Petra Troeger, presented the prestigious statue to 14 companies, four of which are from Baden-Wuerttemberg. All winners prevailed over 2,436 competitors which had been nominated in the four competing regions. All in all 4,917 small and medium-sized companies as well as banks and local communities had been nominated nationwide for the competition in 2018.

“Zedler-Institut is possibly the smallest major corporation in the world and has shown a double-digit growth for many years in succession”, Gunther Jahnke of Jahnke & Hofmann Partnerschaft Steuerberatungsgesellschaft justifies the nomination. In addition, he states “It is not only the economic success that characterises the Zedler-Group, it is also their commitment to social and sustainable issues - on a local level as well as worldwide. In addition to an educational partnership with three schools in the vicinity, the group has also been donating bicycles for Africa for years.”
