Lock GmbH receives Great Place To Work® award “Best Employer Manufacturing & Industry 2026”

Lock GmbH, based in Ertingen, was recognized by the Great Place To Work® Institute as one of the “Best Employers Manufacturing & Industry 2026”. The prestigious award recognizes companies that have created a particularly attractive and trusting workplace culture.

“The award stands for credible management that works fairly and respectfully with employees, for a high level of employee identification and for a strong team spirit within the company,” explained Andreas Schubert, Managing Director at Great Place To Work® Germany, at the award ceremony.
The decision was based on an anonymous and representative survey of Lock employees. Among other things, trust in managers, team spirit, fairness, appreciation, respect and employees' identification with the company were assessed. In addition, as part of a culture audit, management was asked about measures and programs that promote an attractive corporate culture. The results of the employee survey and management audit were included in the overall assessment at a ratio of 3:1 - meaning that the employees' vote had the greatest influence.

Companies of all sizes took part in this year's “Best Employers in Manufacturing & Industry 2026” industry competition, voluntarily having their workplace culture assessed by the Great Place To Work® Institute. A list of the best employers was compiled based on the differentiated survey results and the judgment of their own employees.

For Lock GmbH, the award not only confirms its own corporate culture, but also provides valuable impetus for its continuous development. At the same time, it strengthens employer branding and shows potential specialists that Lock is an attractive employer that focuses on trust, respect and team spirit.
