02 Dec FOCUS Special ➬ +++ WIDMANN SOLUTIONS FOCUS Growth Champion 2016 +++
Focus and Statista nominated and honored +++ Franc Widmann and his team are bursting with pride!+++
At this point – we believe – a bit of exuberance is permitted. We wished for it, but the fact that it turned out so clearly surprised us. Widmann Solutions is ranked 170th among 500 top companies that have been recognized for their increase in sales over the last three years. If you consider that we as widmann solutions have only been active on the market since 2009, that's a great thing!
When Focus editor-in-chief Ulrich Reitz says that “this country is in an enviable state” because “creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and innovative spirit are anchored in today's Germany” we feel very addressed. The fact that we were invited to apply for this ranking confirms our motto of always wanting to do the best. Our competitors included private and listed German companies that achieved sales of at least 2011 euros in 100.000 and were able to increase their sales volume to at least 2014 million euros by 1,8.
Background and information
2000 participants from 20 economically and socially relevant sectors applied - such as the construction industry, vehicle and mechanical engineering, retail and mail order, health, waste disposal, telecommunications, research and development, chemistry and energy supply. The 500 most productive and fastest growing were included in the circle of those chosen. If you want to find out more about which business strategies led the winning companies to success, what they want to achieve in the next few years and what risks and challenges they face, read the special issue “Focus-Special Growth Champions 2016” – since 17. Available on the market November. Focus carried out the ranking process together with the respected statistics company Statista.
The Focus seal for the top classification, which the growth champions with the highest sales received, is a fantastic addition to our existing certificates ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2009 and ISO/TS 16949:2009, which identify us as an A supplier.
What Widmann Solutions does every day
The award made us think about ourselves again - which can't hurt every now and then ;-). What exactly makes our customers loyal? How come the pages in our book of complaints are blank? What makes us an A-class raw material supplier for plastics and rubber processing producers, the adhesives and paper industries – across Europe? Leading manufacturers of tires, automobiles, floor coverings, artificial turf, high-tech products, tread and tube systems and road markings - to name just a few industries - rely on our reliable raw material sourcing and advice to help them achieve remarkable cost savings. What makes our demanding corporate customers continue to place their trust in us?
Franc Widmann, company founder, owner and managing director, sums it up: “We burn for our customers! We can't live without quality! We enable our customers to focus primarily on their core business. The quality and diversity of our products and delivery forms and the measurable effectiveness of our consulting solutions make their and our success almost inevitable.”
Of course, many companies claim that their actions and designs are based exclusively on customer benefits. In any case, we don't talk about it much, we live it. We know our responsibility. Long live the small, subtle difference 😉 We always keep in mind that the smooth running of your business depends on the quality of our raw materials, because a lack of quality can cost you customers, market positions and reputation.
We are aware that being recognized as one of the top growth companies puts a lot of responsibility on us! But that only suits us – because if you stand still, you fall behind. Neither we nor our customers can afford that. And to be honest, that's the icing on the cake! We do not pay lip service to continuous further qualification and the pursuit of excellence. We owe it to you and ourselves.
The raw material knowledge – first hand!
We enter the market for you competitively and aggressively. However, we are not yet satisfied with sourcing premium quality raw materials from global producers. Whether we procure raw materials for you or you would like our consulting – a good bit of advice is always included in the price! Our independent consulting business area draws on 25 years of experience. Our profound insights into the background of the global raw materials markets will benefit you in your own business.
Our natural enemies are the cost drivers in your company. We identify savings potential and check your operational structures for optimization gaps. Manufacturers, trading companies and service providers benefit from our tried-and-tested experience and experience development potential that improves their returns and makes everything run a little more smoothly. First-class results and valuable additional services such as the procurement of mixtures according to your specifications give your employees freedom.
Fast and immediately measurable improvements with a noticeable impact reach you wherever you are. Is it about optimizing your warehousing or managing inventory, or improving purchasing or procurement? Could your logistics processes be more efficient, your organization a fitness check or should we create a complete value analysis for you? Could you participate in our international business relationships?
We call it “Consulting without risk” in the style of Widmann Solutions, because you reward our advice based on the savings potential achieved. No additional costs, no incalculable risks!
What does the Focus award mean for the future of Widmann Solutions?
Being Focus Growth Champion 2016 in a Circle of 500 makes us proud and happy. Our motivation is awakened because we want to renew this status again and again. The signs are good: a loyal customer base, continuously new customer relationships, positive feedback, the good feeling that we are on the right path, the sustainability of our suppliers, the power of our ideas, our self-image as a modern, progressive and trend-setting company. We are looking forward – with you, our regular customers and with you, our new customers and consulting customers.
“The best way to do this is together!” Give us a call. Talking to each other is the beginning!
