2026

Another nomination and an outstanding interim success for our team! HQ GmbH is officially on the prestigious jury list (Success Level 2) for the “Grand Prix for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises 2026.” This means we have successfully completed the second phase of Germany’s most important and demanding business award. Of the companies nominated nationwide, traditionally only a select group reaches this next stage, in which the jury conducts an in-depth analysis of the companies.

The nomination and advancement to the jury list are based on a holistic evaluation. This assessment does not focus solely on financial data, but above all on five key core competencies:

Overall development of the company: Sustainable growth and a stable market presence.

Creation of jobs and training positions: Our continuous focus on team excellence and the development of skilled professionals.

Innovation and modernization: Our leading role in integrating AI-powered commerce solutions and high-performance enterprise hosting.

Commitment to the region: Strong economic and social roots at our headquarters in Auma-Weidatal (Thuringia).

Service and customer proximity: First-class, vendor-independent consulting and long-term support for our enterprise customers.

This success reflects our more than 30-year company history since our founding in 1994 and our deep e-commerce expertise since the early 2000s. A huge thank you goes to our dedicated employees, partners, and loyal customers who made this milestone possible. We now look forward with great anticipation to the jury’s final decisions!
