280 mechanical engineering companies were considered. Of the 64 that were honored in the study, Busch Vacuum Solutions ranked 12th with 89.0 out of a possible 100 points, while Pfeiffer Vacuum AG achieved 26th place with 73.6 points.

“This year, Busch looks back on 60 years of company history. The entrepreneurial foresight of the founders combined with a consistent focus on sustainability and growth have made Busch an established employer in the region. The job security and the pleasant working atmosphere is highly appreciated by our employees, and offers a lot of creative freedom,” says Milena Hesse, Head of Human Resources at Busch Germany.

The study was commissioned by the German business magazine Focus Money with the help of what is known as “social listening.”* For the evaluation, more than 3.6 million online mentions and social media sources were examined and evaluated. The analysis looked for keywords related to the topics of “sustainability,” “economic efficiency,” and “working atmosphere” published from May 2022 to April 2023.

*Social listening is a method of finding out how people express themselves online about a company, a person, a product or a brand.
