3x E-commerce awards
We are excited to announce that we were a 3 time winner at this year's E-handelsprisen (E-commerce Awards) hosted by Dansk Erhverv, the Danish Chamber of Commerce. With over 900 participants attending the grand ceremony and 1200 total nominated companies, Damstahl took home a remarkable hattrick of awards, solidifying our position as the unrivaled champion in the digital world
In February 2020, a new project in our digital journey began. A new overall vision was developed to differentiate our offering in other ways than just price and product – and it was clear that a new webshop would be the basis for this change. Now, three years later, we can proudly say that we have created a digital success story characterized by astonishing growth, creative solutions, and highly satisfied customers.
The development has not come for free
The process has required significant investments, internal upskilling, and strong collaboration between those who build relationships and those who build systems. However, prioritizing customers pays off, and we are proud to share that from 2021 to 2022, we came close to quadrupling our webshop turnover, reaching almost 1 billion DKK in 2022.
As a result of our strong progress, we we’re awarded Best B2B Company with an online turnover exceeding 200 million DKK as well as Best Export Case. Finally, the jury presented Damstahl with the prestigious Golden Prize, affirming the company as the most exquisite contender among all winners.
Our industry is not usually mentioned during these types of awards. Michael Lund, Group CEO at Damstahl, is humble yet not surprised about the wins.
- Steel wholesalers are usually a rare sight during these types of award ceremonies, but at Damstahl, we have always believed in pushing the boundaries and embracing digital transformation. The recognition we have received at this year's E-handelsprisen is a testimonial of our commitment to innovation and customer-centricity.
He further added, "These three awards all have our sustainability focus in common, which has been a key driver of our success. We take great pride in our sustainability efforts, so it's truly gratifying to see others recognize it too."
The jury were united in the decision
According to Winnie Kruse, COO of Sport24 and member of the jury, our triumph was well-deserved. "Damstahl impressed and surprised the jury beyond. Their achievements are remarkable considering their position as a major company in an industry not typically associated with e-commerce. Their customer-centric approach, digital expertise, and outstanding results left us truly blown away."
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and extend our thanks to all the contributors who have been a part of this remarkable journey from vision to reality! Without the dedication and commitment of our wonderful colleagues, the unwavering support from our owners, our fantastic customers who keep us on our toes - alongside our competitors - none of this would have been possible. Furthermore, we would like to especially acknowledge and appreciate our invaluable collaboration with Slize Digital, who has played a significant role in the development of our now award-winning e-commerce solution.
At Damstahl, we take immense pride in this extraordinary accomplishment and the industry recognition it brings. As the market leading European steel wholesaler, we continuously strive to redefine norms, leveraging cutting-edge technology and unwavering customer focus. This prestigious award further fuels our determination to push boundaries and drive innovation within the steel industry.
