VTH Quality Partner

Since April 2019, we belong to the quality partners of the Association of Technical Trade (German: VTH Verband Technischer Handel e.V.). We therefore move up to the group of 24 companies, which cooperate directly with the technical trade in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The Association of Technical Trade (VTH) closely cooperates with its own members as well as with industrial companies in many different economic sectors. The goal of this intense exchange is, for example, to optimise distribution channels or the training of employees in certain fields.

Fair Company 2025

WEICON has been ranked as Fair Company 2025 by the Fair Company Initiative. The initiative is known as Germany’s largest employer initiative, which promotes a fair and sustainable working environment, especially for young professionals.

Top employer medium-sized businesses 2025

We are once again one of Germany's top employers in the SME sector. This is the result of a study conducted by the business magazine Focus-Business. We have been ranked seven times in a row since 2019 and are once again one of the most popular medium-sized employers. This year, we even achieved second place in the „Industry“ category. The companies analyzed were assessed in terms of their working conditions, development opportunities, appreciation and corporate culture. The data for this came from various sources, such as an online survey or reviews on various online portals.

Healthy Employer 2024/25

The regional “Healthy Employer” (Gesunder Arbeitgeber) award by EUPD Research is based on the Corporate Health Evaluation Standard (CHES model) established throughout Germany. We received the award for our outstanding occupational health management. At WEICON, we have set up a large number of measures that focus on the health of employees. These include, for example, height-adjustable desks for all employees, an in-house physiotherapy practice, company bikes and a varied range of meals in the company’s own bistro.

ISO Certifications

The ISO 9001 norm is a globally recognized standard that defines the requirements for effective quality management in a company. Since 2017, WEICON is one of the companies that are certified according to the well-known standard. ISO 14001 is a standard internationally recognized, defining requirements companies need to meet in order to establish an efficient environmental management system.

Top Company

WEICON is a "Top Company" – referring to the quality seal for employers rated as good on kununu.com To achieve this label, a company must obtain a certain number of ratings and the rating point average must be a minimum of 3. Merely 3.9% of companies rated on kununu qualified for the "TOP COMPANY" seal – and WEICON is part of this exclusive circle!

Open Company

Even more exclusive is the small circle of companies, who received the quality seal “OPEN COMPANY“ – WEICON also ranks amongst them! With this seal, just 1% of companies on kununu stand out from the competition and draw lots of attention from potential applicants. To achieve the “OPEN COMPANY“ quality seal, companies must operate transparently, give feedback on poor ratings or invite employees to assess the company themselves

Transfer Prize 2018

In 2018, WEICON along with Professor Joerg Becker, professor in business informatics, and his team received the Transfer Prize by the University of Muenster. The prize is awarded for successful cooperations between research teams working at the university and extramural partners. The title of the award-winning joint project is: “ISO 9001:2015 with icebricks“.

Solvency certificate CrefoZert

In 2018, we were awarded the solvency certificate CrefoZert by the financial service company Creditreform. The certificate proves that WEICON belongs to the two percent of German companies which achieved an exceptionally high credit rating. The certificate also shows our business partners that WEICON is a trustful cooperation partner and that our company stands for economic stability and security.
