Schock AG and Schock Bauteile Baden-Baden have been awarded "Investors in People" accreditation through the international IiP Quality Centre in London.

They become the first medium sized company in Germany to receive this recognition.

The Schock Group develops, manufactures and distributes innovative construction elements and systems for advanced building structures throughout Europe and the UK.
