Top ranking In its assessment, the "Wirtschaftswoche" particularly emphasises the technological innovation leadership of the traditional Balingen-based company. Bizerba has convincingly expanded its previous business model to include digital services, without sacrificing quality in shop scales, the product with which Bizerba became known. For example, it recently succeeded in convincing Amazon to use its in-house cutting and weighing technology in its supermarkets of the future. Under the leadership of Andreas Kraut, Bizerba has grown into a showcase company in terms of digital transformation.
"SMEs are the backbone of the German economy and enjoy the greatest recognition worldwide for their performance. To come second in the ranking among the most innovative SMEs in this environment fills all of us in the company with great pride," says Andreas Wilhelm Kraut, Chairman of the Board, CEO and shareholder of Bizerba SE & Co. KG.
Whether it’s Bizerba’s latest generation of shop scales K3 in the subscription model, the artificial intelligence (AI) based solution "Supersmart powerd by Bizerba" or the CleanCut® Linerless Solution – Bizerba remains the innovation leader in the industry as it has been for the past 150 years. "We fight for this position every day anew with commitment and team spirit. This is how we secure jobs at all locations in Germany, in Europe and worldwide," Kraut emphasises.
