From now on, the TOP 100 seal 2025 adorns our communication channels and the award adorns our trophy cabinet. This makes us officially one of the most innovative medium-sized companies in Germany with an award and seal.
How do you become a TOP INNOVATOR 2025?
“Innovations must be the result of structured innovation management in the company — and should not arise by chance,” says innovation researcher Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke, who heads the scientific selection process. The TOP INNOVATOR 2025 award is based on more than 100 test criteria, which are divided into five categories: management, innovation climate, processes/organization, external orientation and innovation success.

Where does our innovative strength come from?
- We make decisions based on data: Instead of relying on experience and gut feeling, we use data and digital tools to make future-oriented decisions.
- We work agilely and in partnership: Our way of working is flexible and interdisciplinary. This allows us to react quickly to new challenges, assemble interdisciplinary teams and develop creative, effective solutions.
- We are constantly improving: We analyse in a process-oriented manner what our customers need and how our services — such as creation, smart services, guest management, HR or strategic purchasing — contribute even better to market developments and the future.
- We identify trends and topics: Together with our think tank m.next, we identify and explore developments. In this way, we create innovative offerings that offer our customers real added value.
- We are constantly learning: Through our comprehensive, institutionalized continuing education program — also in combination with the Würth Group — we are continuously gaining valuable knowledge.
We will take this award as an opportunity to report in detail on projects in various areas of expertise over the course of the year on what innovation at marbet actually means. 🙌
Because we have a lot to show: “We are extremely well positioned in work organization and innovation management compared to other industries. We transform innovation-promoting work processes into transparent, scalable and certified processes. At the same time, we have converted our innovative areas of expertise into effective services for our customers in recent years and integrated them into our work processes,” says Ralph Herrmann, managing director of marbet.
On June 27, we will celebrate this success at the awards ceremony in Mainz — together with all other TOP 100 prize winners 2025, including Ranga Yogeshwar, who mentors the innovation competition.
