The SZ Institute analysed over 5,000 companies and selected the 101 best performers. The honoured family businesses consistently show strong balance sheets, solid financial figures and stable economic development.
Being recognised as one of the strongest family businesses in 2025 confirms our financial strength, reliability and future viability - and makes us proud to be one of Germany's leading family businesses.
Family businesses shape the country more than many people realise. A study by the Institute for SME Research states that over 90 per cent of all German companies are family-run. They also provide around 60 per cent of jobs subject to social security contributions and train more than half of all apprentices.
Without them, Germany as a business location would hardly be conceivable.
