F.A.Z.-Institute: first place for PCI in the "Highest Quality 2022" study

The quality of products and services is an essential success factor for companies. It shapes the perception of companies - and is therefore an important criterion in the purchase decision. Against this background, the F.A.Z. Institute analyzed 19,000 companies within the study period from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022 in the study "Highest Quality 2022" in various subject areas ranging from customer satisfaction and degree of innovation to sustainability and recommendation and detailed questions about quality management, quality controls, customer service, etc. With 100 out of 100 possible points, PCI Augsburg GmbH once again achieved first place in the building materials and accessories category and is thus the industry benchmark.

PCI Augsburg GmbH is one of the leading manufacturers of construction chemicals products in Germany with over 1,200 employees and nearly 350 million euros in sales. The company offers innovative and sustainable products and solutions for tomorrow's construction trends. This means that PCI has been the market leader in the German-speaking tile laying sector for more than 40 years.

PCI has already won numerous awards including e.g. "Germany's most sought-after employer" and "Germany's training champion" (F.A.Z.-Institute, 2022), "Highest reputation" (Focus Money, 2022), "The best in the industry" (VBÖ Award 2022) "Company of the Year" (Focus Money, 2022), "Digital Champion" (Focus Money, 2021 and 2022), "Trendsetter in the German Economy" (F.A.Z. Institute, 2021), "Brand of the Century" for the THOMSIT brand in the flooring sector (ZEIT Verlag, since 2019) and "German traditional brand" (PLUS X AWARD, 2019) as well as countless product awards.

“Our highest maxim in product development and manufacturing is the best quality with regard to all product properties. This is rounded off by a comprehensive range of services,” comments Stephan Tschernek, Head of Marketing PCI Group. “We are therefore extremely proud of this award. As a premium supplier, seeing our own claim confirmed by a renowned institute is both confirmation and incentive for us.”

For the study, the Institute for Management and Economic Research (IMWF) analyzed around 19,000 companies on behalf of the F.A.Z. Institute (a company of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung publishing group). To do this, the institute used the data from a social listening with 19 million mentions in several hundred million online sources. In addition, comprehensive and structured online questionnaires were evaluated.
