VOSS Automotive Recognized as Germany’s Most Innovative Automotive Supplier in the Deutschland Test

Wipperfürth, July 24, 2025 – In a climate marked by transformation and uncertainty, innovation matters more than ever. The automotive industry is under pressure: new drive technologies, volatile markets, and rising expectations around sustainability demand clear technological answers. Amidst these challenges, recognitions such as the "Deutschland Test" for outstanding innovation offer a bright spot. They highlight companies that, despite difficult circumstances, forge ahead with forward-looking solutions.

VOSS Automotive, a mid-sized foundation-owned company focused on holistic system solutions for the automotive industry as well as for machinery and plant engineering, is one of these pioneers. It has been named Germany’s most innovative company in the "Automotive Supplier" category. With a top score of 100 points, VOSS Automotive leads the ranking and has been acknowledged as an outstanding innovator.

 

Millions of Online Sources Analyzed

The award is based on an extensive analysis of nearly 14,000 companies across 90 industries, conducted by the market research institute ServiceValue on behalf of Deutschland Test. Several hundred million online sources were evaluated between May 2023 and April 2025 to assess innovation-related aspects such as innovation activity, investments, research and development, product innovation, and technology (each weighted at 20 percent). Deutschland Test collects these ratings annually to help consumers and partners identify the companies with the highest innovative strength. Results are categorized by industry to ensure a fair comparison.

“This award is a great honor for us, especially because it recognizes the creativity of our employees and our consistent market and customer focus in development,” says Dr. Thomas Röthig, Managing Director of VOSS Automotive. “Our goal is to identify challenges and opportunities for our customers early on and to provide forward-thinking, competitive, and sustainable solutions.”
