GEDIA reaches final for “Tool manufacture of the year 2009"

On the 1^st of December 2009 the winners of the competition “Excellence in Production" were honoured. This also included the “Tool manufacture of the year 2009". The GEDIA tool manufacture was among the finalists in the category “Internal tool manufacture with less than 100 employees”. The finalists were selected by a thorough comparison of more than 310 tool and mould making companies.

Peculiar to this year’s competition was the fact that only three instead of four categories were analysed. This meant the number of competitors for the internal comparison was twice as high. Regarding these conditions the second place of the GEDIA tool manufacture offers evidence that the change management of recent years under the survey of the WZL Aachen has been successful.

The competition “Excellence in Production" was held for the sixth time. At www.excellence-in-production.de toolmaking companies can already sign up for the next competition. GEDIA will not miss the chance to compete with the best. Our aim is to become the best tool manufacture of the year 2010 – as we were in 2007.
