Independent rating agency Hoppenstedt Kreditinformation awards the top rating of 1 for excellent creditworthiness

Stuttgart 01. December 2011 – As part of the annual certification of “Top Business Partners” by independent rating agency Hoppenstedt Kreditinformation, CENIT AG was awarded the top rating of 1 for excellent creditworthiness in 2011. CENIT the-reby joins a select group of just 3.3% out of 4.5 million German enterprises that earned a first-rate assessment this year.

“We are a solidly operating medium-size enterprise. And that’s exactly what we’ve seen confirmed by this top ranking,” explains Christian Pusch, Speaker of CENIT AG’s Managing Board. “A stable financial foundation creates the basis for long-term, trust-based collaboration with our customers, partners, suppliers and employees.”

Since 2005, CENIT has maintained an equity ratio of more than 50 percent and has no liabilities to banks. This stable foundation is very important to the company. CENIT has been in existence for over 20 years, and to the customers, partners, suppliers and staff, it wants to be a partner they can trust. The actions are motivated not by short-term interest, but by profitable, successful and sustainable projects and the assured existence of the enterprise.

As part of Hoppenstedt Company Group, Hoppenstedt Kreditinformationen GmbH is a provider of credit and risk analyses. Each year, the agency conducts a ranking of the 4.5 million business enterprises in Germany with the objective of determining credit ratings and making them available to consumers, clients and partners.

The credit rating of an enterprise is ranked on a scale from 1 to 6. The Hoppenstedt CreditCheck credit rating index is considered one of the most important and reliable benchmarks for assessing the soundness and economic vitality of German companies.
