ANSMANN awarded the Top 100 seal for the third time in a row

The ANSMANN AG, a leading company in the field of mobile energy supply, is pleased to receive the renowned Top 100 seal for outstanding innovation quality for the third time in a row. The award underlines the team's commitment and creativity to always meet the needs of customers with innovative solutions. Thilo Hack, CEO of ANSMANN AG, puts it in a nutshell: “The true value of an innovation only becomes apparent when it benefits our customers and meets their needs.”

Innovative projects are the core of the corporate strategy
An example of ANSMANN's innovative strength is the planned collaboration with Chemnitz University of Technology to submit a ZIM project (Central Innovation Program for SMEs) to develop a process that enables the replacement of individual cells in battery packs. This initiative is intended to significantly extend the lifespan of battery packs and represents an important step towards sustainable product development.
In parallel, the 'Smart Battery' project launched in 2022 has the potential to lead to significant business model innovation. By integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) into existing battery packs, this project enables continuous monitoring and analysis of lifecycle information transmitted to a cloud platform. This innovative approach opens up new possibilities for data-driven business models while improving the safety and efficiency of battery use.

Generative AI – a tool to increase efficiency
ANSMANN AG has been working with generative AI for years and uses it specifically to increase efficiency in various areas of the company. In accounting, the use of AI technologies enables almost fully automatic invoice processing, while in production, AI-supported image processing systems contribute to quality assurance by ensuring error-free assembly of cell holders.

Markus Fürst, also a board member at ANSMANN, emphasizes the importance of employee commitment: "We give committed and motivated employees at ANSMANN creative freedom to develop innovative products and services for our customers. This increases customer satisfaction and offers us competitive advantages, which secures the future of us and our customers. We are very proud that our work has been awarded the 'TOP100 Innovator' seal of quality for the third time in a row."

On behalf of compamedia, the organizer of the competition, the innovation researcher Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke from the Vienna University of Economics and Business and his team checked the innovative strength of all participants based on more than 100 criteria from five categories: innovation-promoting top management, innovation climate, innovative processes and organization, external orientation/open innovation and innovation success.
