Bischof+Klein receives Best Managed Companies Award 2025

Film and packaging manufacturer Bischof+Klein is amongst the winners of the coveted Best Managed Companies Award 2025. CEO Dr. Tobias Lührig accepted the award together with CSO Erik Edelmann at a festive gala in Frankfurt.

“For us at Bischof+Klein, packaging is far more than just an outer shell – it protects our customers’ products, communicates with consumers, makes efficient use of resources, and contributes to the circular economy. We are working on this with passion and strategic foresight,” said Dr. Tobias Lührig in his statement at the award ceremony.

Markus Seiz, Director at Deloitte Private and head of the Best Managed Companies program, paid tribute to the award winners: “Best Managed Companies like Bischof+Klein have impressively demonstrated their outstanding corporate management. Their success is based on a well thought-out and clever business model, a highly motivated team, and the absolute will to initiate and implement new solutions. As pioneers and examples, they have more than earned this Best Managed Companies award.”

The Best Managed Companies Award is an internationally recognized seal of approval for outstandingly managed medium-sized companies. The program was initiated in the 1990s by Deloitte in Canada and is now established in more than 45 countries.

Bischof+Klein is one of the leading European manufacturers of flexible product protection solutions made of plastic. The company has won the WorldStar Packaging Award on numerous occasions (2023, 2024, 2025) and produces highly-converted industrial and consumer packaging as well as technical films for well-known customers in virtually all industries.

With around 2,800 employees at five production plants in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Poland as well as an international sales network, Bischof+Klein generates annual sales of approximately 600 million euros.

The central element of its innovation strategy is the in-house development center at the company’s headquarters in Lengerich. Here, plastics processing engineers, mechanical engineers, raw material partners, and customers work hand-in-hand on the packaging solutions of the future with one common objective: ecologically sensible products for a functioning circular economy.
