The jury, chaired by management expert Prof. Dr. Bernd Venohr, awards this prize to medium-sized German enterprises which demonstrate rapid and sustainable growth at international level and now rank as global leaders. The panel highlighted Plasmatreat's tremendous spirit of innovation: Investing 12% of its turnover in research and development and with over 90 patents, Plasmatreat is a frontrunner in its field. This is borne out by intensive collaboration with research institutes and universities both at home and abroad. The jury was particularly impressed by the company's international network of branches staffed by highly qualified sales engineers, scientists and technicians. Now a world leader in the development and construction of atmospheric pressure plasma systems, the company has its own subsidiaries in 11 countries on three continents and is currently represented in 34 countries overall.
