Masterflex has been nominated for the Vestischer Unternehmenspreis. The Wirtschaftsvereinigung Vest e.V. together with numerous regional partners awards this ideal prize for the entrepreneurial commitment of local companies. Also in this year six enterprises were nominated again. The nomination was based on evaluation criteria developed by a student working group at the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences.
Vest (pronounced: Fest) is the name for a medieval court district and roughly corresponds to the area of today's Recklinghausen district. However, parts of today's cities Gelsenkirchen (the larger northern half with Buer and Horst), Oberhausen (Osterfeld) as well as the complete today's city Bottrop together with Kirchhellen belonged to the Vest.
