A strong brand story

For 20 years, the compendium "German Standards – Brands of the Century", published by ZEIT Verlag at the initiative of Dr Florian Langenscheidt, has brought together a piece of German brand and economic history. The newly published anniversary edition once again provides an entertaining and informative overview of almost 200 of Germany's most influential brands. Included for the sixth consecutive time: drywall manufacturer RIGIPS.

Many of the brands listed in "German Standards – Brands of the Century" have become synonymous with entire industries or product categories. Examples include paper tissues, long-standing detergents and the iconic "board" from RIGIPS for modern drywall construction.

Brand management that pays off: the drywall brand “Wow!”

“We are very pleased that the independent jury associates drywall construction in Germany primarily with one name: RIGIPS,” said Alexander Geißels, Head of Marketing Communications at RIGIPS, who accepted the award on behalf of the company in mid-February this year. "We know that this success, which has now lasted for many years, is not something we take for granted, but rather the result of continuous brand management. That’s why, since 2021, we have once again been investing in the RIGIPS brand with a broad-based media campaign. To ensure that we fulfil our promise to our customers at all times, all RIGIPS employees are committed to doing so every day.”
