Berlin, 08.06.2011. Dr. Andreas Eckert, CEO at Eckert & Ziegler AG, was awarded the SME prize ,Man of Action 2011' in Cologne yesterday evening. The prize, organized by the growth magazine ,Markt und Mittelstand' (Market and SMEs), is awarded to entrepreneurs of smaller companies who act as a driving force in their field and achieve strong, profitable company growth over a longer period.

'Dr. Andreas Eckert convinced the jury of companies of ,Markt und Mittelstand' with his entrepreneurial achievement at Eckert & Ziegler AG: the development of his company shows that he forges his own path and does not simply follow current trends. His company has recorded an impressive business performance over many years, proving that the success of Eckert & Ziegler does not rely on short-lived hypes and fashions, but is based on a solid, sustainable foundation. That is why he is our 'Man of Action 2011', explained Boris Karkowski, Chief Editor of ,Markt und Mittelstand'.

'We all love to attribute results to specific persons, but it is clear that behind every great and sustainable success stands a team full of men and women of action. And not only at work, also in the family. That is why I accept this price with pleasure, on their behalf', said Dr. Andreas Eckert, CEO at Eckert & Ziegler AG.
