Award from the Stifterverband for Penkert GmbH. There are 3.5 million companies in Germany, less than one percent of which conduct research - an extremely important group. Because only those who conduct research can discover new things and create innovation and growth. From 2014, the Stifterverband will be recognizing research-based companies for the special responsibility they assume for the state and society by awarding them the "Innovative through Research" seal. Penkert GmbH was also awarded the "Innovative through Research" seal of approval by the "Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft" for its commitment. We turn ideas into innovations... Through constant innovation and further development in all areas of our company, we ensure consistent company growth and continuous product improvements. Our goals in sustainable innovation are to increase customer benefit and improve the quality of our products. The "Innovative through research" award recognizes our efforts towards constant innovation and at the same time confirms the path we have taken.
