Fellbach, Baden-Wurttemberg ---- For the twenty-third

companies - are acclaimed. This year, G. Lufft Mess- und Regeltechnik
GmbH belongs to this innovation elite. The Fellbach company previously
took part in a demanding, scientific selection process. Innovation
management and innovation success were examined. The mentor of the
innovation competition, Ranga Yogeshwar, honors the top innovator Lufft
at the German SME Summit on 24 June 2016 in Essen.
The
TOP 100 seal of approval award winner G. Lufft Mess- und Regeltechnik

the experts in intelligent meteorological sensors increased productivity
in manufacturing by 20 percent in the last three years.
"The
true secret of success is passion - and we at Lufft innovate with this
enthusiasm," says CEO Klaus Hirzel. Innovation, including the
development of ideas that is necessary to achieve this, is firmly
enshrined in top management as well as in the majority of employees, as
an integral part of the company's internal processes. Innovation
management meetings are held on a regular basis. Internal events are
communicated quickly and openly: all employees can actively familiarize
themselves with new developments via the organizational system. In
