Translated transcript of the laudatio by Dr. Brian P. Rüeger (Jury President):
“CAMAG was founded in 1958 in Muttenz and has been active in Thin-Layer Chromatography since 1961. CAMAG develops and manufactures both basic and high-end equipment and associated software for all steps of Thin-Layer Chromatography. CAMAG prevailed against many top performers in the Swiss marketing leadership study. The study will be released today and is available for free. By showing best practice marketing leadership on the performance as well as on the customer level, CAMAG has managed to achieve world leadership in a difficult market. On the performance level they have constantly expanded their offering with innovative products and evolutionarily maintained the existing product range. So they are revolutionary and evolutionary at the same time. On the customer level, they have pushed forward the customer acquisition and (think of the strong Swiss franc) successfully maintained existing customers under difficult conditions through geographic expansion and the development of new industries. At the same time, you are not only revolutionary and evolutionary, but also explorers and survival artist. CAMAG has prevailed, because the company exemplary works the four marketing areas which create value for the company. This is nothing less than marketing leadership. Congratulations.”
