Berlin/Northeim, 21. June 2018 – Thimm has won the German Brand Award 2018 for its brand THIMM THE HIGHPACK GROUP. This was announced by the jury at the awards ceremony on June 21 in Berlin. With this award the German Brand Institute and the German Design Council distinguish those companies, who through their excellent brand management, differentiate themselves from the competition. The criteria primarily include the innovativeness of a particular brand, consistent brand management and sustainable brand communication. Thimm has won in the “Industry Excellence in Branding” category.

“We are delighted with this special award,” says Michael Weber, Director Corporate Marketing at Thimm Group. “We laid the foundations for this back in 2007 with the introduction of the umbrella brand THIMM THE HIGHPACK GROUP under which we brought together the individual areas of our expertise into our comprehensive service provision. Since then we have deployed consistent and effective measures to implement our strategic branding. A strong brand creates trust and security for our customers whilst at the same time enabling our employees to identify closely with the company. To win the German Brand Award confirms
this.”

The German Brand Institute was created by GMK Markenberatung and the German Design Council. The Institute’s aim underlying this award is to emphasise the significance of brands as decisive success-factors for companies. The jury is compiled of high-calibre representatives from business and science. Participation is solely via nomination which underlines the importance of the award.
