Fischer has won the Global Excellence in Operations (GEO) Award category in the Factory of the Year competition.
The company won the award for its production plant in Ivanovice na Hané in the Czech Republic. The win coincided with the site’s 30th anniversary.
“The award is the highlight of our 30-year history in Ivanovice na Hané. (This plant) also serves as a role model and benchmark for all of our company’s other production sites,” said Prof Klaus Fischer, owner of the fischer group of companies.
The GEO Award recognises outstanding operational excellence along the entire value chain and a particularly high level of value generation. Every year, the management consultancy Kearney, in cooperation with the trade journal Produktion and Süddeutscher Verlag Veranstaltungen GmbH, honours the plants that master current production challenges in an exemplary manner in six categories.
“The keys to this success are (due to) our fischer Process System and the outstanding team performance of the Czech team. We see this achievement as proof of the successful implementation of our production strategy and the award as an incentive to continue working on improving all processes on a daily basis at all of our nine production sites worldwide,” Maximilian Bronner, Managing Director of Production and Technology at fischer.
Recently, fischer announced a range of products, system solutions and services for infrastructure and tunnel construction projects.
