IST Metz GmbH from Nürtingen in Germany has topped the 26th edition of the ‘TOP 100’ innovation competition. The company was presented the award on 28th June by the mentor of the competition, Ranga Yogeshwar.
Using a scientific system, TOP 100 evaluates the innovation management of medium-sized companies. In the independent selection process, IST Metz particularly impressed with its innovation climate and innovation success. For 40 years, the family-owned company has been producing systems that cure printed products and coatings by means of UV irradiation. One of its most important customer groups is the printing industry. In recent years, this industry in particular has had to face up to digital change.
IST Metz has not only adapted to this change, but has also changed itself; consequently, the innovator has expanded its business field to include the coating of displays.
