Nominated for the “Great Award of Medium-Sized Businesses”: Schwarzer Precision from Essen
The manufacturers of micro pumps for medical and environmental application convince with family feeling, innovation and commitment
Since 1995 the Oskar-Patzelt Foundation, headquartered in Leipzig, grants the “Great Award of Medium-Sized Businesses” to companies from all of Germany. The company receiving such nomination can count itself among Germany’s corporate elite, because many criteria must be met to actually be included in the list of nominees, based on third party recommendation.
Schwarzer Precision was able to score in all relevant disciplines and now belongs to the companies from North Rhine-Westphalia nominated in January 2010. The consistent positive overall development of the company from 1973 until today was one of the decisive factors. Initially specializing in the production of aquarium pumps, Schwarzer has been manufacturing customized micro pumps for the highly sensitive areas of medicine, environment, laboratories and analysis technology since 1995. The main orientation focuses on the customer, consulting and service. Schwarzer Precision has also positioned itself among the leaders in the area of innovation. The world’s smallest piston pump was already developed in 1996. Since then, Schwarzer Precision introduces a new sensation almost every year. The Essen-based company currently has a workforce of 45 staff members, operates as a training company, and offers internship opportunities to high school and university students; its flexible working hours and vacation periods appeal especially to women with families. This demonstrates that Schwarzer Precision's slogan "We care" not merely applies to its precision engineered products but is also practiced as corporate philosophy in all areas: Apart from numerous local projects the company also supports UNICEF and SOS children centers. Schwarzer Precision therefore rightfully belongs to the “great ones” among medium-sized businesses.
