Bietigheim-Bissingen, February 3, 2014 - In the latest FOCUS ranking "Germany's Best Employers", Dürr was ranked top for the first time in the category "Large Mechanical and Plant Engineering Enterprises, Multitechnologies". In the overall ranking of all companies that took part in the competition, totaling around 2,000, the production technology specialist climbed to 24th place (previous year: 79th). The FOCUS magazine ranking is one of Germany's most highly regarded studies on job satisfaction and employer attractiveness.
