PCI is industry and overall winner in VBÖ study "The Best in the Industry"
The Association of Building Material Trade Austria (VBÖ) has been selecting "The Best in the Industry" in its eponymous study every year since 1978. The study examines the satisfaction of building materials distributors with their suppliers and is based on anonymized surveys of their members. PCI Augsburg GmbH achieved first place both in the "Construction Chemicals" industry cluster and in the overall ranking of all industries. The award was ceremoniously presented on June 1 during the 61st Austrian Building Materials Distributors Conference in Saalfelden, Austria.
The study "The Best in the Industry" is conducted annually on behalf of VBÖ in order to strengthen and improve the partnership-based cooperation between the building materials trade and the building materials industry. The Institute for Statistical Analysis Jaksch & Partner GmbH surveyed the 75 VBÖ member companies about their suppliers which were previously assigned to various industry clusters. The surveyed building materials distributors anonymously rated their suppliers in a total of eleven categories, including, for example, delivery reliability, availability of goods, product quality, distributor loyalty, sales support and much more. 

PCI was awarded first place both in the "Construction Chemicals" cluster and in the overall ranking in which the results of all suppliers (all over) were compared across all industry clusters.

"We are extremely proud of this double victory. Last year, we were already among the top 3 in the 'Best in the Industry' and used the individual responses to the analysis to analyze where we could still improve. We are delighted that this is now bearing fruit and would like to thank our partners in the building materials trade for the award. We would also like to thank our employees who give their best every day to ensure high product quality, and the PCI field service which proves our high service quality every day," says Karl Hofbauer, head of the Vienna branch of PCI Augsburg GmbH.

PCI Augsburg GmbH is one of the leading manufacturers of construction chemicals in Germany with around 1,150 employees and sales of almost 350 million euros. The company offers innovative and sustainable products and solutions for the construction trends of tomorrow. PCI has thus been the market leader in the German-speaking tile-laying sector for more than 40 years.
