5 Stars for Outstanding Innovation – Heraeus Medical Recognised Again

Corporate

Heraeus Medical has once more been recognized as one of Germany’s most innovative companies and, for the fourth consecutive year, has received the 5‑star distinction from the German business magazine CAPITAL and the online platform Statista in the ‘Medical Devices and Products’ category.

The selection covered 20 sectors and industries, ranging from the automotive industry and the chemical sector to energy and the environment. A total of 2,785 innovation experts were surveyed and asked to evaluate companies within their sectors. The panel comprised 503 firms considered particularly innovative. Of these, 149 companies ranked in the top third of the preliminary selection and thus received the highest rating of five stars, while 354 companies received four stars.

We are greatly honored to receive the maximum rating once again – 5 out of 5 stars.

Innovation is the driver of long‑term growth and is more crucial than ever in shaping and ensuring the competitiveness of Germany as a business location. We are pleased that our innovative culture and our commitment to developing products and solutions for patient‑centered care in arthroplasty surgery, orthopedics and traumatology are recognized as highly relevant. This distinction in the medical devices category is an important acknowledgement of our commitment.
