We are excellent! TOP100

We are delighted to announce that we, EKC.AG, have been recognized in the TOP 100 innovation competition and can now bear the TOP 100 seal 2025.  This prize is only awarded to particularly innovative medium-sized companies and we are proud to be among the winners.

The TOP 100 competition is based on a rigorous scientific selection process led by Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke. Together with his team, he analyzes the innovative strength of the participating companies on the basis of over 100 test criteria in five categories: Innovation-promoting top management, innovation climate, innovative processes and organization, external orientation/open innovation and innovation success.

It is important to us that our innovations do not arise by chance, but are the result of structured innovation management.  “Innovation means acting instead of reacting,” says Franke, ”it means actively shaping the future instead of hoping that nothing will change.” This approach reflects our own corporate philosophy.

EKC.AG is one of the top innovators for the 3rd time. As a company in the raw materials industry, we have made a name for ourselves primarily in the metals, minerals, chemicals and fuels sectors.

“I am convinced that innovation is the key to our long-term success. This award is a great recognition of the hard work and dedication of the entire EKC.AG team. Together we have developed innovative solutions that make us one of the top innovators. We are grateful for this award and look forward to the next joint successes,” says Managing Director Vladimir Platunov.
