Made in Germany - Made by KAUP
Aschaffenburg, 18.06.2019 - KAUP GmbH & Co. KG (KAUP) was honoured with the corporate "Made in Germany" award by the german 'STERN' weekly magazine. This means the machine builder from Aschaffenburg now belongs to a total of 173 companies in Germany who are permitted to use this accolade. The award holders include well-known names such as 'Kahla Porzellan', 'Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese' and 'Trigema'.
A further parallel: Many of the companies who have received the award are medium-sized, family-run companies like KAUP itself. "We believe in Germany as a location, and especially in Aschaffenburg" said KAUP CEO Holger Kaup, pleased at receiving the award. He continued: "This is the reason we are regularly investing in the Bavarian Lower Main - in machines, buildings and, especially, in people."
The "Made in Germany" corporate award is the second of its kind within six months. At the end of 2018 KAUP was honoured for its engagement as one of 'Germany's Top Traditional Companies' by 'Focus Money'.
