The distinction of “hidden world market leader” was once again awarded to ARKU by the renowned WirtschaftsWoche in its special issue No. 1 dated November 5, 2025. This was done in collaboration with the University of St. Gallen, which annually compiles a list of world market leaders based on strict criteria. To be recognized as a world market leader, a company must hold either the first or second position worldwide in revenue within a relevant market segment. Particularly noteworthy is that ARKU has received this award for several consecutive years, highlighting the company’s sustained top position in the field of leveling machines for sheets and coils.
The presence of companies from a wide range of industries on this list highlights the breadth and strength of the German economy. Represented are both large corporations and so-called hidden champions, which are globally leading thanks to their expertise and innovative capabilities. ARKU has established itself within this exclusive group, once again confirming its place among the best companies in the world.
Through innovative solutions and the highest precision, ARKU has positioned itself as a reliable partner and specialist in sheet metal processing. This consistent focus has secured the company a strong market position on an international level. The repeated recognition as a hidden world market leader is a clear testament to ARKU’s commitment and technical expertise.
As a company that continuously stands at the forefront of its industry, ARKU will continue to strive to provide its customers with optimal solutions and further strengthen its position as a world market leader. Looking ahead, ARKU is exceptionally well positioned to meet the increasing demands of the industry and to contribute both to the German economy and the global sheet metal processing sector.
