This year witnesses the taking place of the 24th “German Grand Prix for Medium-sized Companies” competition. A total of 4,917 companies and institutions were nominated – including HAVLAT Präzisionstechnik GmbH. Following comprehensive processing of the judges’ documents, we succeeded in April 2018 in qualifying for the second stage of the competition. Together with 741 other companies, we have reached the jury stage. The award winners and finalists in the competition will now be selected from these companies. We are delighted to have reached the jury stage, which was personally presented to our Managing Director Lars Friedrich by the Minister President of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer. So fingers crossed that we can continue to convince the jury which is meeting until the end of July.
