Buchenau-based company ranks eighth in prestigious “Top Medium-Sized Companies” ranking
Roth is one of the most successful medium-sized companies in Hesse: in the current ranking of “Top Medium-Sized Companies” published by the magazine “Markt und Mittelstand,” the family-run Roth companies occupy eighth place in Hesse. This also makes Roth the highest-ranked company from the Marburg-Biedenkopf district.
“We are very happy about this award, especially because factors such as commitment to sustainability, employer attractiveness, and training are included in the evaluation in addition to traditional key figures,” says Christin Roth-Jäger, CEO of Roth Industries. The family-run group of companies in the region also includes Roth Werke and Roth Services (Dautphetal-Buchenau), Roth Plastic Technology (Dautphetal-Wolfgruben), Roth Hydraulics (Biedenkopf-Eckelshausen), and Roth Composite Machinery (Dautphetal, Steffenberg, and Burgwald). Roth Industries has a total of 27 production and sales companies worldwide.
Scientifically based criteria
The “Top Medium-Sized Companies” ranking is based on a scientifically based catalog of criteria with 39 quantitative and qualitative evaluation factors. It is compiled as a benchmark by experts from DDW (“Die Deutsche Wirtschaft”) in collaboration with the German Excellence Test. In addition to business performance indicators such as sales, growth, and number of employees, aspects such as innovative strength, sustainability, social responsibility, employer attractiveness, digital visibility, and transformability are also included in the evaluation.
Long-term thinking is rewarded
“This excellent ranking confirms our sustainable corporate strategy and the commitment of all our employees, who contribute their skills and knowledge, their quality standards, and their sense of responsibility every day,” emphasizes Christin Roth-Jäger. "As a family business with roots in central Hesse, we think long-term, in generations rather than quarters. We are delighted that our commitment is now also reflected in a scientifically based ranking,“ adds Dr. Anne-Kathrin Roth, also managing partner of Roth Industries: ”Innovation, environmental awareness, and social responsibility are the cornerstones of our success: values that are explicitly taken into account in this ranking."
