With a festive gala award event in Würzburg/Germany under the motto “With confidence towards the future”, the first part of the 30th competition for the “Großer Preis des Mittelstandes 2024”, which is under the patronage of former German Federal Minister of Finance, Peer Steinbrück, came to a successful conclusion on Saturday, 21st September 2024, with almost 400 guests from 7 federal states. The Oskar Patzelt Foundation recognises the outstanding achievements of medium-sized companies throughout Germany and awards the “Großer Preis des Mittelstandes” business prize every autumn. The “Finalist” and “Winner” prizes as well as a special prize are awarded to outstanding companies and institutions in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin/Brandenburg, Hesse, Saxony and Thuringia.

The directors of the Oskar Patzelt Foundation, Dr Helfried Schmidt and Petra Tröger, honoured 24 companies as “Finalists”, 15 companies as “Winners” and one municipality with the special “Municipality of the Year” award.

EPC Engineering & Technologies was able to hold its own against 4,600 nominated companies and was awarded with the “Finalist” award on stage. EPC was assessed in its entirety and at the same time in its role within society:

2. creation/security of jobs and apprenticeships
3. modernisation and innovation
4. commitment to the region

Outstanding performance is required in all five criteria.
