Anton Schlecker eK iI was a company founded by Anton Schlecker in 1975 and based in Ehingen (Danube) . Until June 27, 2012 Schlecker operated drugstore branches (also under the Ihr Platz brand ), mail order via online shop and catalog , DIY and furniture stores and petrol stations .

Headquarters in Ehingen (Danube)

On January 23, 2012 Anton Schlecker, the sole owner of Anton Schlecker eK , as well as the subsidiaries Schlecker XL GmbH and Schlecker Home Shopping GmbH filed for insolvency proceedings at the Ulm District Court , which opened on March 28, 2012. The creditors' committee decided on June 1, 2012 to break up the insolvent chain. On June 27, 2012, with the exception of the large XL stores and the branches of “ Ihr Platz ” GmbH & Co. KG, all Schlecker branches closed. On June 28, 2012, the insolvency administrator announced the end of Schlecker XL GmbH. The IhrPlatz subsidiary was also dissolved after the individual branches were sold. The sale in the 367  IhrPlatz stores started on July 26, 2012.

The group subsidiaries outside Germany were not affected by the bankruptcy (see section Schlecker International ). These were the wholly owned subsidiaries Schlecker SNC in France (sold in May 2012) and Schlecker International GmbH, in which the other international activities were bundled in two wholly owned subsidiaries. In particular, these were the Austrian Anton Schlecker Gesellschaft mbH (sold on August 1, 2012) and the Spanish Schlecker SA , to which companies for four other European countries were subordinate.

The online mail order business of Schlecker Home Shopping GmbH was discontinued on August 12, 2012.

Corporate history

Foundation and first years

From 1965 until the company was founded, Anton Schlecker (* 1944) worked as a master butcher in his father's butcher's shop, which at the time consisted of 17 butchers and a meat factory.

In 1967 Schlecker opened the first hypermarket (“Schleckerland”) in Ehingen. Further openings followed in Neu-Ulm, Geislingen an der Steige, Göppingen and Schwäbisch Gmünd. When the fixed price for branded articles was declared inadmissible in 1974 , he opened his first drugstore in Kirchheim unter Teck the following year . In 1977 Schlecker already operated more than 100 drugstores. Schlecker increased their number to 1000 branches by 1984 and has been the market leader since 1994 .

expansion

Gradually Schlecker expanded across Germany. In 1987 the company entered the European market, first in Austria , then in 1989 in the Netherlands and Spain . By taking over the French company Superdrug , Schlecker was able to gain a foothold in France in 1991 . In 1999 the company expanded to Italy , in 2004 to Poland and Denmark . In 2005 branches were opened in the Czech Republic and Hungary , and in 2006 in Portugal . In addition to Austria and Spain, Italy and in Eastern Europe , especially the Czech Republic (where Schlecker claims to be the market leader) and Poland have developed into important foreign markets for Schlecker. Other countries did not get far beyond their start-up phase.

The married couple Anton and Christa Schlecker were sentenced in 1998 by the Stuttgart Regional Court to a prison sentence of ten months on probation and a fine of one million euros, because Schlecker employees were pretended to be subject to the tariff paid. In fact, the wages were lower, which the court judged to be a fraud .

Schlecker expanded its business not only through expansion, but also through acquisitions . The 240  Sconti stores of the Rewe Group were taken over in 2001. In 2005 Schlecker was able to integrate 91 branches of the drugstore chain idea - the green drugstore of the Rewe Group, into its own branch network. At the end of 2006 Schlecker took over the leading Czech drugstore chain Droxi , which belonged to the Julius Meinl delicatessen . On December 31, 2007 Schlecker acquired its former competitor Ihr Platz for 150 million euros and continued to run it as a second premium brand. Almost 100 larger Schlecker branches are also said to have traded under Ihr Platz . At the end of August 2009, the Federal Cartel Office approved the takeover of a maximum of 71 former Woolworth branches.

Development from 2000 to 2010

The Schlecker Home Shopping online shop was opened in 2000 and, according to the company, its range comprised 100,000 items. The articles in the range were also sold through a regularly updated catalog. In 2004 a new logistics center near Ehingen- Berg was opened for the mail order business . In a representative customer survey by the Federal Association of German Mail Order Retailers , the online shop was selected as one of the best shopping addresses on the Internet in the “Cosmetics Drug Store” category.

Schlecker had been working in the wholesale business since mid-2007, buying for other dealers. As a result, the company's own logistics should be better utilized and the purchase prices of the articles should be further depressed by the volume increase.

Schlecker has been running the Vitalsana mail-order pharmacy in Heerlen, the Netherlands, since February 2008 .

In 2008, more than 14,000 branches across Europe with around 50,000 employees generated annual sales of over 7 billion euros.

Schlecker's rise to become Europe's largest drugstore chain could then be described as a success story in European retail.

On January 1, 2010, the Kaufland retail chain , which is part of the Schwarz Group, took over four of the five Schleckerland self-service department stores, converted them and converted them to the Kaufland concept. Schleckerland Neu-Ulm, on the other hand, was reopened as a shopping center with Schlecker XL supermarket, as Kaufland already had two branches there at the time. On January 21, 2010 Schlecker announced that it would close around 500 branches in 2010 due to “business problems”.

In August 2010, a data leak at the Bonn-based IT service provider Artegic AG became known. Datasets from 150,000 customers were publicly accessible due to a security gap in the Internet. According to data leakage discoverer Tobias Huch , Schlecker was not responsible for the leak. The data leak was closed immediately after its discovery. The records contained the customer's name, address, email address and customer profile. The e-mail addresses of 7.1 million newsletter subscribers were also accessible. Schlecker filed a criminal complaint against unknown persons and offered affected customers a 5 euro shopping voucher. In addition, improvements to the security standards were initiated.

In October 2010 the Schlecker works councils of the districts of Mayen and Fürth / Herzogenaurach were awarded the German Works Council Prize 2010 in gold.

In mid-November 2010, Lars and Meike Schlecker , children of Anton Schlecker and who have been with the company for ten years, announced that they were now responsible for the company's external image. By mid-2012, 230 million euros should be invested to make the branches more competitive.

Developments from 2011

Schlecker used since the beginning of 2011 a new, from the Düsseldorf Gray group belonging design agency KW43 brand design earned Logo .

In January 2011, Schlecker announced a change in the internal management structure as part of the Fit for Future investment and investment program : The second management level below the owner family was a board level with Thorben Rusch for purchasing, marketing and sales and Sami Sagur for administration and personnel. In addition to these two newly structured areas, staff departments (e.g. for real estate, personnel development and corporate communications) continued to report directly to the Schlecker family. The new management structure should make it easier for Lars Schlecker and Meike Schlecker to run the company. For Schlecker it was a novelty that with Sami Sagur, a manager who had come into the company relatively new from the outside, was given such an exposed management position. The Fit for Future program, developed with the help of external consultants, was intended to lead to an extensive repositioning, improve the image and develop Schlecker into a modern local supplier. This should be achieved through far-reaching changes in the product range and shop fitting as well as in communication and marketing.

In June 2011 Schlecker announced that it had been making losses for three years and that it would probably close 500 to 800 branches in 2011 as a whole. A new set of rules for the company's executives was intended to improve the company's bad reputation for workers' rights. For the first time in the company's history, Schlecker's management principles were agreed in advance with the Ver.di union . Ver.di trade secretary Achim Neumann and Ver.di boss Frank Bsirske also recognize these as "comprehensible management methods". The new management principles should regulate the interaction between superiors and employees in a binding manner, prevent conflicts and correct Schlecker's image, which was previously problematic in this regard.

In the summer of 2011, Schlecker set up three other company websites in addition to the corporate website, a company blog , an advisory website and a website for the Schlecker neighborhood initiative, “The Good Neighbor”, which was also recently launched. The activities of the neighborhood initiative included, for example, the redesign of a neighborhood green area, support in holding a village festival or help for a hedgehog rearing station.

Schlecker Germany

Bankruptcy in early 2012

In December 2011, Spiegel Online reported on “massive liquidity problems” at Schlecker. After company losses in the previous three years, company boss Anton Schlecker is said to have invested a high double-digit million amount of his private assets in the company to ward off the liquidity problems.

Anton Schlecker, who trades under the company Anton Schlecker eK (§ 17 HGB ), and the subsidiaries Schlecker XL GmbH and Schlecker Home Shopping GmbH filed for insolvency at the Ulm District Court on January 23, 2012 due to insolvency. At first it was said that the subsidiary your place was not affected by the bankruptcy. However, this also filed for bankruptcy on January 26, 2012 . This was the second bankruptcy of your place.

According to research by the Handelsblatt, the family's private assets melted from around 1.65 billion euros to around 35 to 40 million euros due to the bankruptcy of the Schlecker company, which is largely owned by the children Lars and Meike. This money was generated by the children with their temporary employment company Meniar , a subcontractor of the Schlecker family, through which they had placed around 4,300 workers, who had been laid off by Schlecker, under temporary employment contracts to Schlecker on poorer terms . Insolvency administrator Geiwitz described the information about the remaining assets as "pure speculation". The family could be accused of a lot, "but not saving wealth on a large scale". Instead, the family invested several hundred million euros in the Schlecker restructuring between 2008 and 2011, a total of around one billion euros in the last ten years.

According to Geiwitz, creditors' claims totaled 665 million euros in June 2012. The insolvency administrator calculates a total of around 800 million euros. According to the Wirtschaftswoche , Anton Schlecker's children have registered claims totaling around 176 million euros: Meike Schlecker is demanding 48.43 million euros, her brother Lars Schlecker 48.9 million euros. In addition, the claims of the private logistics company Logistik- und Dienstleistungsgesellschaft mbH (LDG) add up to 76 million euros. The LDG is also owned by the Schlecker children. According to the Wirtschaftswoche , the Federal Employment Agency and the Euler Hermes credit insurance group are also calling for "three-digit million amounts". In addition, there are claims by the tax office of 73.2 million euros.

First wave of closure

The company management during the insolvency proceedings is incumbent on the insolvency administrator Arndt Geiwitz. On February 29, 2012, Geiwitz announced that Schlecker would close every second branch; The job cuts would therefore affect around 11,500 employees in the Schlecker branches.

The managing directors Thorben Rusch and Sami Sagur were in charge of the operational management.

On March 11, 2012, a spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Economics confirmed a newspaper report that Schlecker had received no help from the federally owned development bank KfW . A first list of around 2,500 stores to be closed was published on March 13, 2012, and a layoff list with around 11,200 employees on March 20, 2012. The federal states negotiated the formation of a transfer company , for which around 70 million euros are required. On March 28, 2012 it became known that a transfer company with the participation of all federal states had failed; Instead, the federal states of Baden-Württemberg , Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia wanted to set up a transfer company in which only the employees of the Schlecker employees affected by the branch closings in these federal states would be accepted. A transfer company did not come about because Bavaria had refused to participate. After the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia on May 13, 2012 , North Rhine-Westphalia Labor Minister Guntram Schneider also said that the state of North Rhine-Westphalia was not in a position to pay for a transfer company or a special fund.

By March 24, 2012, 2,200 Schlecker branches, which made up around 40 percent of the branch network, had closed.

On March 28, 2012, the Ulm District Court opened insolvency proceedings.

Second wave of closure

On June 1, 2012, the creditors decided to break up the company. The creditors' committee saw no prospect of a continuation of Schlecker or the sale of the entire group to an investor. Previously, the most important creditors had given interested parties a week to improve their offers. The 13,200 employees in Germany should be given notice at the end of June 2012. A sale should begin soon in around 2,800 German branches. The 342  Schlecker XL stores and the 490 branches of Ihr Platz with a total of 5100 employees should, however, remain open and remain open. The sale to the investor Dubag failed because of the creditor Euler Hermes, so that Dubag withdrew its offer. A buyer should still be sought for your space .

On June 8, 2012 the sale of the goods began in the Schlecker branches.

On June 27, 2012 almost all remaining Schlecker branches in Germany were closed. On November 28, 2012, large parts of the business inventory such as shelves and forklifts were auctioned by the insolvency administrator in the central warehouse in Ehingen in the presence of several hundred interested parties.

22,959 employees of the Schlecker drugstore chain were laid off in June 2012. Around 10,000 of them were able to start a new job in the period up to October 2012. Only a few former employees have applied for retraining to become educators or geriatric nurses. In a pilot project , the trained German Railways in collaboration with the Federal Employment Agency 2013 14 Schlecker employees to dispatcher or switch guards around.

According to the Federal Employment Agency, more than 9,000 of the 23,400 laid-off employees (around 40 percent) were back in work by the end of 2012. 2,300 would no longer have registered as unemployed. The turnover of the competitor Rossmann rose by 16 percent in 2012, market leader dm increased by 11 percent in the fiscal year that ended 2012. Rossmann claims to have taken over more than 2,000 employees and around 100 branches from the subsidiary Ihr Platz .

Schlecker XL and the rest of the insolvency proceedings

After the failure of a fallback solution ( transfer company ), around 4,500 dismissal protection suits were received by the courts. On June 28, 2012 it was announced that the approximately 350  Schlecker XL branches were also closing, as, according to the insolvency administrator, investors had been deterred by the wave of dismissal protection suits. The sale at Schlecker XL began on July 26, 2012 . On July 31, 2012, 57  Schlecker XL branches were sold to HH Holding . On August 10, 2012, NKD took over 50  Schlecker XL stores. The remaining Schlecker XL branches closed on August 29th.

Investigations by the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office

Due to suspicions of breach of trust , delay in bankruptcy and bankruptcy , the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office initiated an investigation against Anton Schlecker and 13 other accused in July 2012 . The trial against Anton Schlecker began on March 6, 2017. His wife Christa and children Lars and Meike were charged with aiding and abetting. On November 27, 2017, the Stuttgart Regional Court sentenced Anton Schlecker to a two-year suspended prison sentence and a fine of € 54,000 for deliberate bankruptcy . His children, Lars and Meike, were sentenced to prison terms of 34 and 35 months respectively for delaying bankruptcy, fraud and breach of trust. The proceedings against Christa Schlecker had already been discontinued against payment of a monetary requirement. In response to the appeal, the Federal Court of Justice only changed the sentence slightly downwards on April 25, 2019 (to 33 months for both defendants), but otherwise confirmed the judgment of the regional court.

Competitive situation

Schlecker temporarily represented 76 percent of drugstores in Germany, had a market share of 38.1 percent in 2007 and was the market leader among drugstore chains. The main competitors were dm-drogerie markt , Rossmann and Müller .

Due to the fierce competition among these four, according to market observers, the sales of various Schlecker stores have stagnated in recent years. To counteract this, Schlecker started a location optimization program in which around 1,000 smaller and low-turnover branches were to be closed and new, more profitable branches opened.

The works council criticized this program because employees had previously been given notice or a dismissal was threatened. A company spokesman rejected the information as inaccurate, as although branches would be closed, a total of 272 new sales outlets had been opened in 2004 alone and corresponding takeover bids had been made for the new markets.

Collective agreements and works councils

In 1995 Schlecker had signed a first collective agreement with the HBV and DAG trade unions at the time , in which Schlecker's commitment to the retail tariff and the modalities of works council activities at Schlecker were laid down. In 1998, on the basis of this agreement, 68 works council bodies with 140 works council members were successfully established at Schlecker.

According to Frank Bsirske , there were 170 works council bodies and a general works council at Schlecker in 2010. Schlecker stated the number of works council members as a total of around 1,000. Of the 34,000 Schlecker employees in Germany, 11,000 were Ver.di members.

On June 1, 2010, Schlecker had signed three new collective agreements with Ver.di : a social collective agreement and an employment security collective agreement for employees in the old Schlecker stores, as well as a collective agreement agreement for the new Schlecker XL stores, which became the legally independent Schlecker XL GmbH belong. With these new collective agreements, the controversy surrounding the new Schlecker XL stores, in which the employees were initially employed without any collective bargaining agreement, was resolved. The situation of Schlecker XL employees had improved thanks to the collective agreement . They were now paid throughout Germany according to the Baden-Württemberg retail tariff. The agreement was unanimously welcomed in politics and business. After renewed allegations by the Ver.di union with regard to the payment of overtime, the question was whether Schlecker's collective bargaining agreements were already being implemented in full. Schlecker then committed himself to financial compensation for overtime.

The Ver.di union secretary responsible for Schlecker, Achim Neumann, spoke positively to Manager Magazin in November 2010 about Schlecker's collective bargaining obligations: “Schlecker is a pioneer in the industry.” Ver.di boss Frank Bsirske confirmed this assessment in his speech at the Ver.di National Congress in Leipzig in September 2011 again. An article in Wirtschaftswoche , on the other hand, considers the unions complicit in the bankruptcy of the company because they had not shown their willingness in time to support a restructuring course.

Schlecker International

The group subsidiaries outside Germany were not affected by the bankruptcy. The international activities, with the exception of France, were bundled in the 100% subsidiary Schlecker International GmbH . The European branch network was divided into the two subsidiaries Anton Schlecker Gesellschaft mbH (Austria) and Schlecker SA (Spain).

On August 27, 1987 the company Anton Schlecker Gesellschaft mbH (commonly known as Schlecker Austria ) was founded with its headquarters in Pucking in Upper Austria . The company is the Austrian subsidiary of Schlecker International GmbH. Until the end of July 2012, Anton Schlecker was entered in the commercial register as managing director. On June 26, 2012, Johannes Zuber was appointed interim managing director of Anton Schlecker Gesellschaft mbH (Schlecker Austria) , he is part of the team of insolvency administrator Arndt Geiwitz. The previous managers Andreas Kozik as managing director for sales and the authorized signatory and purchasing manager Helmut Kampenhuber remain unchanged in their positions.

The Austrian part of the company also includes branches in Poland , Luxembourg , Belgium and parts of Italy . The entire subgroup of Anton Schlecker Gesellschaft mbH was sold to Austrian investors at the end of July 2012 (see below).

facts and figures

In 1994 Schlecker had 467 branches in Austria. Then the company expanded steadily until it reached its peak in 2003 with 1,248 locations. Since then, the number of branches has decreased: in 2005 there were 1,176, in 2009 1,037 and at the end of 2010 974 branches.

In 2012, around 3500 employees in 927 branches generated sales of around 451 million euros. Together with dm-drogerie markt (376 outlets, approx. 644 million euros in sales) and BIPA (580 branches), Schlecker was among the top 3 in Austrian drugstore retail. The logistics were handled via the central warehouses in Gröbming and Pöchlarn , the Wolfau warehouse had been closed since October 2011 because it was no longer needed due to the market withdrawal from Hungary. At the time of the insolvency in Germany , the group had around 970 branches in Austria and employed around 3,000 people.

Development in Austria after bankruptcy in Germany

In May 2012 it became known that the insolvency administrator was negotiating with three buyers, whereby it was assumed that the chain, which is independent of Germany, will continue to exist as a whole with 930 stores and around 3000 employees. At the beginning of June it was reported that the Austrian Schlecker subsidiary (at that time: for the time being) would not go bankrupt. Negotiations were held with the Austrian industrialist Josef Taus , owner of Management Trust Holding (MTH), who would have been interested in part of the Austrian Schlecker branches, as they would have been structurally compatible with the Pfennigpfeiffer retail chain, which is also part of the MTH Group .

Sale and company transfer

On July 31, 2012 it became known that the Schlecker subsidiary Anton Schlecker Gesellschaft mbH had been sold to an Austrian investor group around the corporate restructuring company Rudolf Haberleitner and his private equity fund TAP 09 . With the company takeover, all 900 locations in Austria, as well as the 450 in Italy, Poland, Belgium and Luxembourg, and around 4600 of the 5000 employees are to be retained. The drugstore is to be retained, but the concept is to be expanded and converted into a local supply chain “for daily needs”. In various circles, however, the success of the restructuring and the rebranding to dayli (the plan was daily for English ; this was not protectable under trademark law) is doubted. Schlecker Austria is said to have had equity of 268 million euros and to be debt-free. After writing off the receivables of 174 million euros to the Schlecker parent company and 23 million euros for the Hungarian and Danish markets, the company's equity should (at the end of) 2012 be between 80 and 85 million euros.

On August 1, 2012, the insolvency administrator Arndt Geiwitz and (an) unnamed representative (s) of TAP 09 signed the contracts for the transfer of the company in Linz . The contracting parties also agreed not to disclose the details of the contract, as did the purchase price. Haberleitner claims to have raised this with the Viennese lawyer Franz Guggenberger and "friends": "We would not have got this company if we had not been able to pay."

The company reorganization and the subsequent expansion were to be financed from the restructuring company TAP 09 Beteiligungsholding . For this purpose, commitments of 40 million euros are said to have been made for the fund. The investors were made up of private banks, private foundations, wealthy industrialists and two private equity funds, 15 percent of which come from Austria, including a few industrialists, private foundations and mostly private individuals. The rest was made up of Germany, Switzerland , the United Kingdom , the USA and a few investors from Eastern Europe . By 2013, each branch should have invested 7,400 euros - a total of 10 million euros - and by 2016 52 million euros.

The attempt to introduce a Sunday opening across the board through restaurant concessions met with great resistance. On June 4, 2013, dayli submitted an application for restructuring proceedings without self-administration to the Linz regional court; on July 30, all jobs at the AMS were registered for termination.

France and Italy special cases

As can be seen in the group structure above , Italy and France took special positions :

  • The Italian market was divided into two subsidiaries, each subordinate to the Austrian and Spanish headquarters.
  • In contrast to the other European group companies, Schlecker SNC in France was a 100% subsidiary of the parent company Anton Schlecker eK and thus a sister company of the German Schlecker subsidiaries.

Criticism of the Schlecker Group

Schlecker criticized at a demonstration on May 1st in Kreuzberg (2006)

Schlecker was criticized by trade unions because of his working conditions. Sometimes there was only one worker in the shops. As a rule, one full-time employee and two part-time employees worked in a branch, who were deployed as required.

Since 2009 Schlecker had been planning to reposition itself in the drugstore area with larger Schlecker XL stores, which was mainly associated with the closure of smaller branches in the vicinity of the larger XL stores with up to 800 square meters of sales area. According to Ver.di , this should affect up to 4,000 smaller branches; the employees were threatened with redundancy due to the closings . Some of the employees were given the opportunity to work in the new markets. However, since these were operated by the legally independent Schlecker XL GmbH , for which the collective agreements of the Anton Schlecker company did not apply until June 2010, continued employment up to this point took place at temporarily significantly worse conditions. The permanent employees were in the minority at Schlecker XL during this period: Schlecker XL GmbH recruited more than two thirds of its employees as temporary workers from Meniar Personalservice GmbH , whose founder and managing director was previously HR manager at Schlecker's company headquarters. Since the temporary employment agency is based in Zwickau , it also paid the employees in West German branches the lower salaries in the east of sometimes less than 7 euros.

The Labor Court Marburg committed Schlecker XL on 23 April 2010 as part of a preliminary injunction , pending the outcome of proceedings on a former Schlecker staff member under the old conditions continue to employ, as in the conversion Schlecker to Schlecker XL a transfer of operations i. S. v. § 613a BGB is to be seen and therefore at the time of the transfer from Schlecker existing employment contracts were transferred to the new Schlecker XL .

Employees were repeatedly checked, including through test purchases.

In order for the stocks to be correct, the employees of Schlecker branches in Austria had to buy goods with an expired sale date at full price themselves.

Claims that Schlecker branches were attacked more often than those of other chains due to inadequate security measures and small staff could not be proven.

In the past, internal company calls in Austrian Schlecker branches sometimes had to be made with a private mobile phone, as work telephones were blocked; Employees complained that they could not use the toilet during working hours.

In Germany in 2010, after considerable criticism, the company announced that it would not conclude any new contracts with the temporary employment agency Meniar . The then Federal Labor Minister Ursula von der Leyen intended to have the processes checked and said that she was also concerned with "whether laws have been violated or circumvented" and whether there are "loopholes and gaps in the existing legal framework that allow conditions in temporary work , which are not in the interests of the legislature. " Ver.di had previously accused Schlecker that permanent employees would be forced into new contracts with significantly poorer working and income conditions, which is done through the temporary employment agency Meniar (" People in Work ") based in Zwickau . She pays an hourly wage of 6.78 euros, while the average wage for a saleswoman is 12.70 euros in Germany. The Main Association of German Retailers also sharply criticized Schlecker's approach on January 12, 2010. On March 31, 2010 it was reported that employees in Schlecker branches had been filmed without permission.

Awards

  • In 1992 Schlecker received the “ Golden Sugar Loaf ” award for his entrepreneurial achievements and his great expansion successes (the “Industry Oscar” for the food industry, founded in 1958 and awarded annually since then).
  • In September 2010 Schlecker was awarded the most fuel-efficient fleet of company cars by the Naturschutzbund Deutschland (NABU) e. V. and by Volkswagen Leasing GmbH with the first environmental award “The Green Fleet”.
