stern Innovation Award 2025 for AMAZONE

Innovation through tradition: AMAZONEN-WERKE honoured again

In 2025, the AMAZONE Group has been recognised as Germany's most innovative medium-sized company in the agriculture and agricultural machinery sector for the second time in a row. This was the result of a recent study commissioned by the news magazine stern. AMAZONE once again achieved the highest score in the ranking and took first place. In a cross-industry comparison, the agricultural machinery manufacturer took an outstanding third place in the overall ranking of the TOP 500 companies in all sectors, and can therefore count itself amongst the absolute elite of the most innovative medium-sized companies in Germany.

With a clear focus on research and development, AMAZONE pursues the goal of supporting agricultural businesses in a future-oriented and sustainable direction. AMAZONE is constantly working on further developing of its products and is strategically looking for innovative solutions to the current challenges in agriculture. In addition to its technical progress, the company increasingly relies on digital and AI-supported technology that enables precise adaptation to the climate, soil and plant conditions. One central concern here is to conserve valuable resources and reduce the level of inputs, whilst maintaining a consistently high yield. In order to live up to this ambition, a great deal of expertise and commitment goes into the realisation of new ideas.

The large number of innovations illustrate AMAZONE's high aspiration to make an important contribution to the further development of agriculture, and thus to securing the world's food supply with future-oriented solutions. "Innovation has characterised the progress of our family business throughout its history. The excellent result in this evaluation encourages us in our endeavours to strategically increase our innovative strength in the future and to further expand our position as a pioneer in the industry. Our special thanks go to our employees, whose creative commitment constantly provides new impetus and turns ideas into reality. We would also like to thank our customers and partners for their trust and cooperation and valuable suggestions from the field," say Christian Dreyer and Dr Justus Dreyer, CEOs and owners of the AMAZONE Group, who are delighted with the award.

AMAZONE was previously named Germany's most innovative medium-sized company by WirtschaftsWoche magazine last year.
