Schmitz Cargobull received a further award from the leading technology and computer magazine, CHIP. Together with Globis Management Consulting, a leading European consulting and market research company, the experts determined Germany’s most innovative companies for 2022 on the basis of the number and quality of their new patent applications. Schmitz Cargobull was recognised with the “Digital Innovator 2022” title in the vehicle manufacturer category.
The study encompasses applications from 2018 to 2020 in every patent class in which new developments with digital relevance are documented. This year’s study examined a total of around 31,000 patents, including 7,380 new applications from approximately 2,000 German companies or corporate groups from every commercial and scientific sector.
The “Germany’s most innovative company 2022” award once again confirms Schmitz Cargobull’s pioneering role as an innovator in the industry.
The results were determined by Germany’s business magazine, Capital, in collaboration with Statista, a leading data and analysis institute. The analysis spanned 20 sectors and industries ranging from the automotive industry and the chemical sector to the energy and the environmental sectors. Roughly 3,600 innovation experts were surveyed and asked to rate companies in their sectors. Some 470 companies from 2061 candidates scored four or five stars in this year’s survey. Schmitz Cargobull numbers among the selected innovation leaders in the “Transport and logistics” category with a four-star rating.
