Silver for PCI in the overall ranking in the VBÖ study "The best in the industry" 2024
Every year since 1978, the Association of Building Materials Dealers Austria (VBÖ) has selected "The best in the industry" in its study of the same name. The study examines the satisfaction of the building materials trade with its suppliers and is based on anonymous surveys of its members. PCI Augsburg GmbH achieved second place in the overall ranking across all sectors. The award was presented at a ceremony on June 6 as part of the 62nd Austrian Building Materials Trade Conference in Altlengbach.
The study "The best in the industry" is carried out annually on behalf of the VBÖ in order to strengthen and improve the partnership 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 who were previously assigned to various industry clusters. The building materials distributors surveyed rated their suppliers anonymously in a total of eleven categories, including, for example, delivery reliability, availability of goods, product quality, dealer loyalty, support from sales and much more.

PCI was awarded second place in the overall ranking in which the results of all suppliers were compared across all industry clusters ("all over").

"We are pleased to receive the silver award and would like to thank our partners in the building materials trade. The continuity with which we have always been in the top places for several years shows that we are on the right track. We also express our thanks to our employees who do their best every day to ensure high product quality, and to the PCI sales staff which demonstrates our high service quality every day," says Karl Hofbauer, Head of PCI Austria.

PCI Augsburg GmbH is one of the leading manufacturers of construction chemical products in Germany with around 1,150 employees and a turnover of 320 million euros. The company offers innovative and sustainable products and solutions for the construction trends of tomorrow. This has made PCI the market leader in the German-speaking tiling sector for more than 40 years.

PCI has already won numerous awards including "Company of the Year" (Focus, 2022, 2023 and 2024) and the Architects' Darling Award from Heinze Verlag several times in various categories, most recently in silver in 2023. The THOMSIT brand has been "Brand of the Century" (ZEIT Verlag) in the flooring sector since 2019. In 2024, PCI achieved a double victory in the VBÖ supplier evaluation and was both industry and overall winner.
