PCI Augsburg GmbH once again honored as "Digital Champion" in 2024
In February 2024, PCI Augsburg GmbH was once again honored "Digital Champion" for the fourth time. The company took second place behind Würth Industries in the latest Focus company study. Every year, Focus honors companies that actively take on the challenges of digitalization and find their own answers and develop solutions.
Digitalization is advancing inexorably and has become an integral part of modern life. Companies must deal with digitalization in order to remain agile and competitive. Against this background, Focus Money selected the "Digital Champions" for the sixth time. With a very close score of 99.2 out of 100 possible points, PCI Augsburg achieved second place in the “Building Materials & Accessories” category, while Würth Industries took first place. PCI Augsburg GmbH had already been awarded first place in 2020, 2022 and 2023.

On behalf of Focus Money and Deutschland Test and under the scientific supervision of the renowned Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI), the Institute for Management and Economic Research analyzed the approximately 12,000 largest companies in Germany in the study period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023 and evaluated the results in the fields of digitalization, technology and innovation.

PCI Augsburg GmbH is one of the leading manufacturers of construction chemical products in Germany with around 1,150 employees and a turnover of approx. 320 million euros. The company offers innovative and sustainable products and solutions for the construction trends of tomorrow.

Three gold and one silver award is a result to be proud of and further confirmation that PCI is an industry leader in the field of digitalization. The service concept is our top priority which is why we are continuously developing our broad portfolio of digital offerings to provide our customers with practical benefits for their everyday needs," says Stephan Tschernek, Head of Marketing PCI Group.
