Sesotec GmbH awarded prestigious TOP 100 seal
Passed selection process with over 100 evaluation criteria
Sesotec GmbH, a leading provider of intelligent systems for foreign body detection, material sorting, and analysis from Schönberg in Lower Bavaria, has been awarded the TOP 100 seal for 2026. This officially ranks the company among Germany's most innovative mid-sized enterprises.
The award highlights Sesotec's exceptional innovative strength, innovation-driven management, and forward-thinking development processes. TOP 100 is an independent competition that evaluates companies using a scientific benchmarking process across five categories: Innovation-promoting top management, innovation climate, innovation processes and organization, external orientation/open innovation, and innovation success.
These innovations are reflected in technological milestones achieved in recent years. These include AI-powered solutions in metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems (THiNK Technologies) as well as AI-based advancements in sorting systems (SUSTAiN Technologies). New software solutions like Insight.WEB and modern HMI concepts have also been introduced, making machine data transparently usable and digitally connecting production processes.
