Putzmeister Receives German “Top National Employer” Award

German news magazine, Focus, presented awards to the best employers in Germany for the 2016 Focus Awards. Putzmeister was named a “Best Employer,” securing a top 10 place in both the Mechanical Plant Engineering and Rail and Special Vehicles categories.

Focus selected Germany's best employers through a large-scale survey conducted together with career-oriented networking site, Xing, and employer review portal, Kununu. In this nationwide survey, employees rated both their employers and managers, producing a ranking, spanning 22 different industries, of the 1,000 best employers with more than 500 employees.

Putzmeister's HR Manager, Uwe Misselbeck, was delighted to receive the award and remarked that, "It really is something special to receive the Focus Award 2016. It's a sign that our employees are satisfied with their overall situation and perspectives, and an indicator that our company philosophy is in touch with the latest trends. We will continue down this path and continue to attach great importance to youth development and the professional development of our employees."

In 2012, Sany acquired Putzmeister, the leading German concrete machinery manufacturer, in an acquisition worth over €360 million ($402 million). After four years, Sany–Putzmeister has proven that the acquisition is a fine win-win model for international cooperative development.

Sany and Putzmeister will further strengthen cooperation and work together to increase both brands' sales while ensuring steady employment both locally and abroad.
