Harro Höfliger was awarded the Baden-Württemberg Founder‘s Prize 2016 from the German Savings Bank Finance Group (Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe) in Stuttgart. The award was presented by Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut, State Minister of Economy, Labor and Housing.

The honoring of Harro Höfliger not only recognizes his entrepreneurial achievements but also his social commitments. For many years now, the founder of Harro Höfliger Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH has made a name for himself as a sponsor and mentor, and he was the co-initiator of the “Backnang Economic Talks”. He is considered the “economic authority for the middle class” in this area. In 2007, he was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for his commitment and dedication to the regional economy. „Harro Höfliger is the perfect role model for today’s founders“, said the President of the Savings Banks Association Peter Schneider in his laudatory speech. „With you, the German Savings Bank Finance Group honors a successful businessman: It is people like you the Baden-Württemberg economy owes its excellent worldwide reputation to – both in terms of quality and economic performance as well as its capacity for innovation and sustainability.” Höfliger recognized the importance of in-house training and continuing education of his employees at quite an early stage. To date, more than 300 apprentices have successfully completed their vocational training – a long list of competition winners on a chamber and state level underline the high quality of education. In addition, Harro Höfliger also accepted social responsibility, which is primarily reflected in the areas of youth development, volunteering, sponsoring and educational partnerships. In 2008, Höfliger was appointed honorary citizen of Allmersbach im Tal for his extensive accomplishments. The Founder’s Prize of the German Savings Bank Finance Group of Baden-Württemberg has been in existence for 19 years. For 12 years now, every year a remarkable person is honored for his or her life’s work.
