With the purchase of the Gerhard Ludwig train station bookstore in Cologne in 1988, Eckert initiated the expansion of the family business.

In 1998 he founded the station journalist prize, initially endowed with DM 10,000 and currently endowed with € 5,000 , which has since been awarded annually for “outstanding journalistic achievements on the subject of the station”. For many years Eckert was a member of the jury for the award of the "Golden Sales" prize and, between 2005 and 2014, a member of the executive committee of the German Association of Tobacco Retailers (BTWE).

In 2011 the Dr. Eckert Group was named “Stuttgart's Best Employer 2011”.
