German CEO Excellence Awards 2026
Planexus GmbH and Managing Director Sven Biewald were recognised in 2026 by EU Business News in two categories of the German CEO Excellence Awards — as a leading provider of modular laboratory containers and as the most innovative thought leader in laboratory space solutions.
Company award
Leading Modular Laboratory Containers Provider 2026
Awarded to Planexus GmbH as a leading provider of modular laboratory containers in the German-speaking region — for turnkey, standards-compliant container laboratories in BSL-2 and BSL-3 configurations on the LABtoGO 2.0 platform.
CEO award
Most Innovative Laboratory Spaces Leader 2026
Sven Biewald, Managing Director
A personal award for Sven Biewald — for pioneering the first fully functional laboratory container in 2016 and for the continuous development of modular laboratory spaces, from research containers through to BSL-3 high-containment facilities.
What are the German CEO Excellence Awards?
The German CEO Excellence Awards are presented annually by EU Business News — a publication of the British AI Global Media Ltd., which has awarded independent business prizes in Europe and internationally for more than a decade through brands such as Corporate Vision, Acquisition International, BUILD Magazine and CEO Monthly.
The awards recognise leaders and companies in Germany that stand out in their sector through innovation, market position, client focus and sustainable growth. Selection is made by an editorial research team on the basis of nominations, publicly available data, client and partner feedback and market analysis — not through self-application with fees or a pay-to-win model.
The 2026 awards covered winners from industry, life sciences, technology, finance and construction. Planexus sits at the intersection of modular construction and life-science infrastructure as one of few German specialists at home in both worlds — and was recognised twice for that reason.
What the award means for our clients
- External validation: An independent specialist editorial team confirms what our clients experience — Planexus delivers reliably high quality in modular laboratory construction.
- Innovation capability: Recognition of continuous development — from LABtoGO 2.0 through BSL-3 containment to H₂ and battery-test containers with ATEX protection.
- Accountability: An award-winning Managing Director stands personally behind the quality of every project — not anonymous corporate process.
