You aren’t having a déjà vu. And we‘re not telling you the same story as last year. We have simply been recognized once again by Focus – as the Growth Champion of 2024.
Year after year ... the business magazine Focus Business and Statista – Germany's leading online platform for statistics – analyze the 13,300 fastest-growing companies out of 2 million companies in 21 sectors. And the top 500 are honored with this award.
In fact, we were part of this group last year, too. But as we all know, once is not never enough. And that's why we're even more pleased to be among the Growth Champions once again in 2024!
In the Germany-wide overall ranking, we are in a solid 138th place. In terms of specific sectors, things literally went like a well-oiled clock for us: 7th place in the "Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals" category. We are once again proud of this award! Such a great confirmation of our work. A great end to the year. And, together with our sixth company anniversary, a great reason to celebrate.
We have repeatedly proven to ourselves and everyone else that growth is possible even in difficult and crisis-ridden times. Our figures speak for themselves: six years after the company was founded in 2017, we have generated an impressive 23 million euros in revenue with 14 employees and are proud to have 300 loyal and new customers worldwide. At this point, we would like to repeat ourselves and say thank you – to our customers, to our supply partners and to our outstanding HOC team.
Looking forward to welcoming you to the stand of our partner IQLubricants.

The best gift for the company‘s fifth birthday? Awarded Growth Champion 2023 by Focus.
The business magazine Focus Business and Statista, Germany‘s leading online platform for statistics, have analyzed the 12,000 fastest-growing companies in 21 industries out of 2 million and awarded the top 500 of them. And yes: we are among them!
Ranked 47th in Germany and even 4th in the 2023 Growth Champions in the „Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals“ industry. We’re very proud of this award! Right on time for our fifth company birthday. Focus editor-in-chief Robert Schneider wrote in the special issue 02/2022: „Writing about growth in times like these feels strange. Given the past Corona pandemic and Putin‘s war, energy crisis, inflation shock and disrupted supply chains.“ But our figures five years after the company was founded in 2017 prove that growth is possible even in times of crisis: more than 22 million euros in sales with 12 employees and 300 satisfied customers worldwide.
We say thank you – to our customers and supply partners and especially to the entire outstanding HOC team!
