Plasmatreat from Steinhagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, is the newly crowned Innovation Champion 2024: the company has been awarded the TOP 100 Signet 2024. This award is only given to particularly innovative medium-sized companies. 

Science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar will personally congratulate Plasmatreat at the award ceremony on 28 June in Weimar.

Plasmatreat is a leading company in the manufacture and development of atmospheric plasma systems and equipment. With its innovative technology and commitment to continuous development, the company has won several awards in recent years. 

These awards recognise Plasmatreat’s innovation and ability to develop groundbreaking solutions for various industries. The awards are proof of the recognition of the high quality and added value that Plasmatreat offers its customers. 

The company’s innovative strength is reflected in its ability to develop new applications for plasma technology and to optimise existing processes. 

“Our employees, especially in research and development and application technology, are constantly striving to push the boundaries of plasma technology, to set new standards in the industry and to open up new applications,” explains Christian Buske, CEO of Plasmatreat GmbH. 

“For the electronics industry, for example, we introduced a special Plasma Treatment Unit (PTU for short) at the end of last year that revolutionises production processes in semiconductor and power module manufacturing: inline in the production process, we enable the removal of the oxide layer on metal surfaces without the use of wet chemistry, which is harmful to the environment and to health. A revolution in terms of efficiency, environmental friendliness, cost and time savings.”

Award-winning innovation leader 2024

In 2024, Plasmatreat once again won an award for its atmospheric plasma technology and innovative strength: Innovation researchers from the Vienna University of Economics and Business evaluated the innovative strength of the participating companies for the TOP 100 Award based on more than 100 criteria from five categories: Innovation-promoting top management, innovation climate, innovative processes and organisation, external orientation/open innovation, and innovation success. 

Questions such as whether the companies were able to create new products, new services, new processes and new business models, and whether these achievements were by chance or the result of a structured and targeted approach were evaluated. 

On June 28th, all Top Innovators of the year 2024 will gather at the “congress centrum weimarhalle” for the award ceremony as part of the German SME Summit. 

Ranga Yogeshwar will personally congratulate them on their TOP 100 success. “We want to use the award ceremony to talk to other top SME innovators and perhaps even initiate one or two joint projects,” says Christian Buske, looking forward to the summer event.
