Augsburg, December 17, 2024 – Sika Handel Bau announces that the renowned publishing group "Die Zeit" has once again honored the THOMSIT brand as a "Brand of the Century" in flooring technology. The official certificate was presented on November 29 in a festive ceremony in Berlin. The "Deutsche Standards – Marken des Jahrhunderts" award defines the Who's Who of the German economy, with this recognition acknowledging THOMSIT as the industry-leading brand in Germany for flooring technology.
The "Deutsche Standards – Marken des Jahrhunderts" award is one of the oldest in Germany. Every three years, the prestigious publishing group "Die Zeit," under the patronage of Dr. Florian Langenscheidt, publishes a list of the award-winning brands, defining the Who's Who of the German economy. The award recognizes traditional companies with a high level of brand awareness and brands with distinctive features that stand for an entire product category in the collective consciousness. On November 29, 2024, the official presentation of the brand award took place during the book premiere in Berlin. Karsten Scholz, Head of Sales for Paint and Flooring Trade at Sika Handel Bau, accepted the award.
THOMSIT was founded in 1946 as a product brand of Thompson-Werke GmbH in Düsseldorf and was acquired in 2017 by PCI Augsburg GmbH, one of Germany’s leading manufacturers of construction chemicals. Since its founding, THOMSIT has revolutionized the market for floor covering and parquet installation materials with numerous innovative products. Since May 2023, PCI Augsburg GmbH, with its two brands PCI and THOMSIT, has been part of Sika, with products now being distributed by the newly established Sika Handel Bau business division.
“We are very pleased with this renewed award and are proud to be among Germany’s ‘brand champions’ continuously since 2019. This is especially meaningful as one of the key criteria this year focused on ‘future-proof brands,’” said Sven Dornhege, Marketing Manager for Paint and Flooring Trade at Sika Handel Bau. “We view this recognition as motivation to continuously earn the trust of our customers.”
