MEIKO machines are synonymous with reliability. And they can withstand a great deal. Just how much even surprises the experts sometimes. Prior to MEIKO moving an innovation into series production, it is rigorously tested again in a final quality check - down to the last nut and bolt, both microbiologically and mechanically, in the MEIKO development lab.

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (F.A.Z.) reports what has been known about MEIKO for a long time: "Model employers are by no means a given in today's world and employees currently expect more than just a good salary. This is now underlined by a study by the F.A.Z., which counts MEIKO as one of them Germany's most sought-after employers.

"One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world." Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzi knows what she is talking about. Her statement appears on the "Bunte Münchner Kindl" aid project website and expresses its central objective, which applies even in Germany, where children do not necessarily have the school supplies they need. Equal opportunity begins very early on in life, even when it comes to having the proper materials for the classroom.

She's long – 337 meters, to be exact. And she's big, with 2,600 cabins that accommodate up to 6,600 passengers. But her environmental footprint is surprisingly small, even earning praise from the German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Association (NABU). We are talking about the AIDAnova, the newest cruise ship in use by the Rostock-based shipping company Aida Cruises.

Service is a key priority at MEIKO. So important that they even initiated a new award, which will be awarded once a year to one of the subsidiaries. And the first winner of the MEIKO Service-Award in 2018 is: MEIKO Clean Solutions (India) Pvt. Ltd. from Bangalore.
