Germany’s fastest-growing and most profitable \u2018Mittelstand\u2019 companies 2019<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2561″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”h8″]Munich Strategy has identified Germany\u2019s fastest-growing and most profitable \u2018Mittelstand\u2019 companies in cooperation with business newspaper Handelsblatt. The study \u201cTOP 100 Ranking of the ‘Mittelstand’\u201d has been published for the tenth year running.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

3.500 medium-sized German companies with an annual turnover of 10 million to about 1 billion euros were analyzed for the study. Criteria for the ranking: the companies\u2019 revenue growth and EBIT margin during a five-year period (weighted fifty percent each).<\/h6>\n

High strategic discipline<\/h2>\n

The average revenue of the TOP 100 (12.5%) lies significantly above the revenue of the total “Mittelstand” (4.9%) and that of DAX corporations (3.4%). The TOP 100 have a permanent growth drive and pursue their goal of being the number one in their respective sectors and markets with strategic discipline. They achieved continuous double-digit growth rates in the past five years and rarely experienced growth spurts that require a continuous change of strategy.<\/h6>\n

Defensive power<\/h2>\n

In addition to revenue growth, the TOP 100 have also strengthened their defensive power compared to the previous year. This way, the average EBIT margin for the evaluation period improved by 1.8% to 16.0% (DAX companies: 9%). Thanks to a high degree of adaptability, the TOP 100 can react to fluctuating market and competitive conditions in a flexible way. Additionally, their financing is often times planned in the long-term and with reliable partners.<\/h6>\n

International reach<\/h2>\n

The TOP 100 differentiate from the mainstream regarding internationalization. With ~60%, the top companies reach the highest export share whereas the weaker companies generate only 40% of their turnover in countries outside Germany. More importantly, the weaker companies are less focused and active in 45 countries on average, whereas the TOP 100 are only active in 26 countries. To them, globalization means multiplying market leadership in other regions.<\/h6>\n

Widerstandskraft ausgebaut<\/h2>\n

Der Jahresvergleich 2007\/2016 macht deutlich: Die st\u00e4rksten Mittelst\u00e4ndler haben ihre Widerstandskraft seit der Finanzkrise im Jahr 2008 erheblich ausgebaut. Die durchschnittliche Eigenkapitalquote der Unternehmen wuchs zwischen 2007 und 2016 um 11,9 Prozentpunkte – von 43,1 auf 55 %. Der Ausbau der Eigenkapitalquoten der TOP 100 deutet auf eine gestiegene Solidit\u00e4t im deutschen Mittelstand hin.<\/h6>\n

Mittelstand wird ‘Mitteltech’<\/h2>\n

Technologieunternehmen dominieren das Ranking 2018 und zeigen in allen Bereichen die st\u00e4rkste Performance. 52 der 100 st\u00e4rksten deutschen Mittelst\u00e4ndler sind \u201aMitteltech\u2018-Unternehmen und f\u00fchrend in den Branchen Technologie, Maschinen- und Anlagenbau sowie Baumaschinen. Mit einem Umsatzwachstum von 11,8 % und einer EBIT-Quote von 15,1 % liegen sie innerhalb der TOP 100 im Spitzenfeld. Munich Strategy teilt die \u201aMitteltech\u2018-Unternehmen anhand ihrer vorrangigen Erfolgsmuster in drei strategische Gruppen ein: \u201aDigitale Wegbereiter\u2018\u201a Kunden-Insider\u2018 und \u201aProdukt-Titane\u2018.<\/h6>\n
