Schalksmühle, 17.05.2018. The Lumberg Group is one of the leading providers of connector and contact systems. The competence lies in particular in the in-house development and pro-duction of connectors, electromechanical components and mechatronic components of the highest quality. With Meike Schmidt, who has been the managing partner of the Schalksmühle company since 2009, the Lumberg Group is now much more agile. With the transformation into a flexible, individual technology company with collaborative development and production of entire assemblies, new markets are opened up and high-value large customers gained despite – and because of – the medium-sized character. The performance, innovation and quick response capability, which shows itself across all core business areas, from automotive, home appliance and building technology, is rewarded by customers.

This visible development is honored by the readers of the leading European trade magazine for electrical engineering “Markt & Technik” and after 2017 again voted Meike Schmidt the “Manager of the Year 2018” in the “Electromechanical and PCB” category out of all nominated candidates. The award was presented on Thursday at a gala in Bad Aibling near Munich.

Meike Schmidt points out: “I am delighted that this award focuses on the success of the Lum-berg Group – after all, it is an award for the day-to-day performance of our 1,300 employees from Mexico to Shanghai, and all the way especially for our colleagues in the factories in Schalksmühle, Cloppenburg and Świebodzin in Poland, are the very ones who make up the success of the Lumberg Group. Without them, there would be no award! It’s not my personal award – it’s their award!”
