North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Mona Neubaur, presented the award to Michael Finger, CEO of technotrans SE, at a gala event at Düsseldorf’s Apollo Varieté on Tuesday evening. The jury thus recognised an exemplary transformation: technotrans has systematically evolved from a supplier to the printing industry into a globally active technology company focused on thermal management. The company’s technology now plays a key role in future markets such as AI data centres and e-mobility. “We are delighted to receive this award. It recognises the transformation we have driven forward with strategic clarity, technological expertise and great commitment,” says Michael Finger, CEO of technotrans SE. “The trust of our customers and the dedication of our employees have been crucial to this success. They deserve this recognition.” North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Mona Neubaur, described technotrans as “a source of encouragement for others” and praised the company’s “impressive transformation”. Thermal management as a key technology for future markets The successful transformation of technotrans is based on consistently applying its core skill in thermal management to new technologies and applications. Building on its traditional printing business, the company has entered additional business areas and systematically diversified its business model. Today, technotrans operates in four focus markets: Energy Management, Healthcare & Analytics, Plastics and Print. In Energy Management in particular, the Group addresses structurally attractive growth markets with liquid cooling for AI data centres and battery thermal management systems for e-mobility. Global megatrends such as artificial intelligence, digitalisation, electrification, decarbonisation and medical advances are placing increasing demands on the precision and energy efficiency of thermal management solutions. With its technological expertise and broad service portfolio, technotrans considers itself well positioned to benefit from these developments in the long term. Recognition for successful structural change The “NRW – Wirtschaft im Wandel” competition has been organised by Rheinische Post and General-Anzeiger Bonn since 2015. At the seventh edition, a total of nine companies in three business categories and two individuals were honoured for their achievements in shaping economic change.
