- Vetter defends Gold and Best in Class status
- CDMO impresses in all four evaluation categories
- Outstanding
example for combining economic success and leadership in sustainability
Ravensburg, May 28,
2024: Vetter, a globally leading Contract Development and Manufacturing
Organization (CDMO), has once again been awarded the Best Managed Companies
Award, marking its fifth consecutive win. The jury made its selection based on
Vetter’s consistency and strength in driving corporate development and its
dedication to implementing innovative initiatives across the company to support
its growth. The renowned jury panel considered successes across the evaluation
categories of strategy, productivity and innovation, culture and commitment, and
governance and finance.
Markus Seiz, Best
Managed Companies Program Lead and Director at Deloitte Private, includes:
“Above all, Vetter stands out in the scope of its tactical measures to drive
growth. The global, family owned CDMO has accelerated its own strategic
development by creating programs and processes that directly support the needs
of its customers. Through this commitment, they consistently surpass
expectations. The professionalism of the employees drives it forward, and
therefore the CDMO undoubtedly deserves to be among our winners again this year.”
Vetter Managing Director
Peter Soelkner expresses his enthusiasm: “For us, participating in the Best
Managed Companies Award is a fantastic opportunity to receive focused expert
feedback from an outside perspective. Our 6,300 employees can take great pride that
we are once again recognized and evaluated as Best in Class. We owe this, in
large part, to our employees who work with commitment and passion to help us
achieve our goals at all levels, every single day.”
Ambitious goals
successfully achieved
In 2023, Vetter achieved
important milestones in its corporate development: the CDMO was able to report
a turnover of more than one billion euros for the first time. The major
expansion projects at its sites in Germany, which are associated with high
financial investments, are on schedule or are already successfully operational.
In addition, the company is working on important automation and digitalization
projects that have already enhanced daily operations. For example, the Speed
Bin Picker, which was adapted to Vetter’s unique requirements, sorts prefilled
syringes, which are loosely kept in sterile containers, into trays. This
automation eliminates time spent on repetitive manual work.
Vetter prioritizes
sustainability alongside its economic success, a primary consideration for the
jury panel. For example, by joining the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi),
the pharmaceutical service provider has committed to their strict climate
protection rules. In addition, the CDMO has invested over one million euros in
the construction of a large photovoltaic system for sustainable power
generation at the German Ravensburg West site.
Vetter Managing Director
Thomas Otto adds, “We believe our fifth consecutive Best Managed Companies
Award is a direct reflection of our success in reducing our environmental
footprint while achieving record sales. Our strategic approach is to treat our
sustainability goals as an integral part of our corporate strategy.”
