German Brand Award: Lufthansa Systems wins two awards in the most important categories 

Recognized as Corporate Brand of the Year 2019 and in the “Excellent Brands – Corporate Services” category

Raunheim, 7 June 2019 – Lufthansa Systems received two German Brand Awards yesterday evening in Berlin for its new and integrated brand identity. In addition to winning the Corporate Brand of the Year 2019 award, the airline IT provider also garnered a second award in the “Excellent Brands – Corporate Services” category. Both prizes recognize the outstanding cross-industry brand management in the competition’s most prestigious categories. Excellent Brands also honors the best product and corporate brands in an industry.

Lufthansa Systems̕ new brand identity aims to further increase the company’s visibility in the aviation market and enhance the brand’s emotional appeal with expressive messages and a modern look. “We are delighted to have been selected in what are the two most important categories for us. Our bold step to make extensive changes to the brand image at the beginning of the year has been rewarded,” said Olivier Krüger, CEO Lufthansa Systems, who accepted both awards yesterday evening together with Ansgar Lübbehusen, Head of Marketing & Communications. “Lufthansa Systems is an innovative company with extensive expertise in the airline IT sector. It was important for us to underpin this with our new brand identity and thus distinguish ourselves from the competition.” 

The German Brand Award has been presented by the German Design Council and the German Brand Institute since 2016 to recognize successful brands, consistent brand management and sustainable brand communication. Lufthansa Systems already won two awards in 2017 – most notably for its redesigned brand center.

“We want Lufthansa Systems to become a special and unique brand without forgetting our roots within the Lufthansa family. In this process, we adopt an integrated brand approach because just changing our design was not enough for us. We use our new image story

It is a tremendous honor for us that the expert jury has come to a similar conclusion,” said Ansgar Lübbehusen, Head of Marketing & Communications at Lufthansa Systems.

All nominated companies had to pass a review process with experts from companies, scientific institutions and agencies. To win a German Brand Award, companies need to meet as many criteria as possible in areas such as brand presentation and differentiation.
