Revolution in component procurement
Founded in 2019, the online marketplace is revolutionizing the procurement process for precision components by focusing on digitalization and automation. CNC24 enables customers to process orders completely digitally and uses AI to match them with suitable suppliers. Today, 1,500 customers from the DACH region already rely on CNC24’s manufacturing expertise. Last year, components with a total weight of over 1,000 tons were measured and checked for quality in the company’s own measuring center. Despite the global crisis, inflation and supply and material bottlenecks, the company was able to record an inquiry volume of 129 million euros and double its supplier network to 560 manufacturers in 22 countries.
The German Excellence Award was presented for the fifth time this year. The award was created and presented by the news channel ntv, DUP Unternehmer Magazin and the German Institute for Service Quality. The high-caliber jury examined the applications received for excellent products, services, campaigns, projects and creators. Federal Minister Brigitte Zypries is the patron of the project.
