Top 100 award for Fichtner & Schicht
Fichtner & Schicht GmbH was awarded the Top 100 seal for innovation. The supplier of electroforming and toolmaking produces erosion protection caps for the aviation industry, among other things.
For Fichtner & Schicht as a supplier of electroforming and toolmaking, continuous innovation means intelligently leading the existing into the future. Managing Director Tim Stricker knows that erosion protection caps from Fichtner & Schicht are the ultimate in aviation. And the market proves him right: almost all protective caps come from the manufacturer with the distinctive specialist knowledge. Alloy, geometry - although the medium-sized company is also one step ahead of the leading supplier from the USA, sales in America are still very difficult because potential customers prefer nationally based companies.
Fichtner & Schicht regularly breaks new ground with its products in the aviation and automotive industries, its second major business area - often in cooperation with research institutes. The company often draws inspiration from other sectors. "We really appreciate the cross-industry exchange," says Stricker. Meanwhile, the company relaunched its corporate identity to mark its 50th anniversary. The approach was very cautious: slightly adapted color gradients, rounded corners. The recognition value was the most important thing.
