Reliability, solidity, and entrepreneurial strength: For the 13th time in a row, bema GmbH Maschinenfabrik has been awarded the prestigious CrefoZert creditworthiness certificate by Creditreform Osnabrück/Nordhorn Unger KG. This once again confirms the company’s outstanding financial position and its sustainable business development.
CrefoZert is considered one of the most meaningful seals of approval for economic stability in Germany. The certification is based on an in-depth analysis of current and past financial statements, complemented by an assessment of the overall economic situation and a personal management interview. Factors such as payment behaviour, credit rating, and future prospects are evaluated. Only companies that meet all criteria and whose forecast indicates continued solid development receive the certificate – valid for one year, provided the conditions remain unchanged. Nationwide, only around 1,500 medium-sized companies receive this distinction annually – placing bema among an exclusive group of financially strong businesses.

“In economically turbulent times, bema GmbH Maschinenfabrik sends a strong signal: stability, reliability, and sustainable performance are not just buzzwords here – they are lived reality. bema stands for responsible business practices and collaborative partnerships – a company you can rely on,” emphasises Armin Trojahn, authorised officer of Creditreform Osnabrück/Nordhorn Unger KG.
Sonja Koopmann, Managing Director of bema GmbH Maschinenfabrik, adds: “‘Clean work across the board’ – for us, this is far more than a slogan. It’s a clear commitment to quality, responsibility, and respectful cooperation – both within our team and in our dealings with customers and partners. The CrefoZert makes this attitude visible and strengthens trust in our brand.”
Thanks to a forward-looking and solid financial strategy, bema possesses the financial strength to continuously invest in innovation and sustainability. Not only was the new Sweezy® sweeper series successfully launched, but the Voltlage-Weese site was also strategically developed. A recent example: In April 2025, bema commissioned its first photovoltaic system – a significant step towards climate-friendly energy supply and CO₂ reduction. Further measures for sustainable energy generation and use are already in planning.
“This year we celebrate our 85th company anniversary – a milestone we look back on with pride. The CrefoZert confirms: We are not only rich in tradition but also well positioned for the future,” Koopmann concludes.
