This year, we applied for the Future Prize \u201cCraft Business of the Year 2025\u201d of the Dresden Chamber of Crafts \u2013 with great commitment, a lot of passion and a clear message: Attracting skilled workers and employee retention are central tasks for the future, which we are actively addressing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Out of a total of 20 applications \u2013 from small craft businesses with 7 employees to companies with 300 employees \u2013 we were named as one of the favorites. After submitting our application at the end of March, the HWK jury visited us on April 30, 2025 and gained a comprehensive insight into our measures, our working culture and our technology.<\/p>\n\n

The decision was finally made on June 17, 2025 as part of the HWK summer party in Dresden.<\/p>\n\n

Even though we didn’t reach a place on the podium, the jury’s feedback was clear: It was very close \u2013 and our concepts were convincing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

We are proud of what we have built together. Because one thing is certain:Without our employees and their daily commitment, it is not possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
