Portfolio company Oechsler again awarded the 'Axia Best Managed Companies Award’

Oechsler AG, a company from the portfolio of Deutsche Beteiligungs AG (DBAG), has once again been awarded the "Axia Best Managed Companies Award". The international high-tech forge for innovative solutions in plastics technology had already received this award last year.

The award is presented annually by Deloitte, WirtschaftsWoche and BDI to outstandingly managed medium-sized companies. With this year's award, the jury is honouring the group's high innovative strength and the interplay between tradition, innovation and internationalisation in a corporate strategy that is focussed on the long term as well as the excellent management of change processes.

"Oechsler is thus not only a benchmark for excellently managed medium-sized companies, but also stands symbolically for the future of Germany as a business location," said Lutz Meyer, partner and head of the Mittelstand programme at Deloitte, at the award ceremony.

"We are delighted about the award for our portfolio company and see it as confirmation once again - we have invested in an outstanding company," commented Torsten Grede, Spokesman of the Management Board of DBAG on the award.
