Sick wins the GlobalConnect Award 2016

Sick was honored with the GlobalConnect Award 2016 in the category “Global Player” for its outstanding entrepreneurial achievements in export and internationalization. The award was given during the GlobalConnect trade fair, the biggest export conference of the economic organization at the Stuttgart state trade fair, and was presented by Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut MdL, Minister of Economic Affairs, Labor, and Housing of the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

Companies that successfully link up and integrate business and production processes across the globe and that make a special contribution for the environment and society are considered in the category “Global Player”. A panel of experts decide among these companies and evaluates them using in particular the criteria of global presence, social and ecological standards, and unique selling point.

“We are very pleased to have received the award; it means both for us confirmation of our excellent performance and an inspiration to keep it up. It is recognition of 70 years of Sick’s global development. We will continue to set standards with our innovations across the globe in the sensor technology industry and promote confidence in worthwhile and sustainable technologies,” says Dr. Robert Bauer, Chairman of the Executive Board at Sick.
