In 2024, and for the eighth time in total, DEUTSCHLAND TEST once again investigated which companies in Germany are characterized by particular innovative strength. The results of the latest survey were recently published in a special edition of FOCUS MONEY. CHRISTMANN + PFEIFER ranked first place in the "Construction Companies" category and set the benchmark within the industry with a score of 100.
As part of the study, the Institute for Management and Economic Research (IMWF) examined several hundred million online sources on approximately 17,000 companies in Germany on behalf of DEUTSCHLAND TEST. Statements in five innovation-relevant areas were evaluated: Innovation activity, investments, research & development, new products and technology. At the end, five million mentions from the period May 2022 to April 2024 were recorded and evaluated. The score was calculated on an industry-specific basis on a scale of 0 to 100 points.
At CHRISTMANN + PFEIFER, it is above all the company's own product developments - based on almost 100 years of experience in the field of Structural Steelwork - that ensure innovation and constant progress. One of these developments is the modular Preflex® Parking Garage. Thanks to its special design, it is very flexible in its application, whether for building over an existing parking lot or for developing a completely new area, and can be scaled as required so that vans, mobile homes or even trucks can also be parked. Prefabrication of the standardized parking slab elements in our own factory not only guarantees consistently high product quality, but also means that projects can be completed on time and largely independent of the weather. At the same time, the Preflex® Parking Garage is characterized by a high degree of sustainability, as it can be extended or completely dismantled and reused without damage if necessary.
The ranking as one of Germany's most innovative companies confirms our continuous commitment to developing tailor-made construction solutions with forward-looking ideas.
