Marc Zimmermann, Group CFO at MHP, sees the award as an important sign: “MHP's continuous growth proves that we are successful in the long term, even in economically challenging times. A decisive factor is to look beyond short-term developments to future potential and opportunities and to position ourselves accordingly.”
 
About the SZ Institute ranking
For the ranking, 195 companies were identified that are characterized by sustainable success and economic stability. The decisive criteria included a workforce of at least ten employees, accounting in accordance with recognized standards, a stable order situation and sales growth of at least five percent. This meant that not only companies with a high degree of stability were considered, but also those with continuous growth.

In addition, certain financial indicators had to be met: for example, an annual net profit of more than one million euros was required in the balance sheets for 2022 and 2023. A high return on equity and a convincing return on investment were also used as further evaluation criteria. The ranking included a total of 309 companies in the analysis.

In the final step, Creditreform examined the creditworthiness of the companies in order to assess their financial stability and creditworthiness. On the basis of this comprehensive analysis, the 195 most successful traditional companies were finally selected for the ranking.
