In his speech, Ansgar Müller called Heinz Trox an entrepreneur with a high social responsibility, as you rarely find them today. He named in particular the extraordinary lifetime achievement of expanding the TROX GmbH to its current standing: a global leader in the field of ventilation and air conditioning, with more than 3700 employees and expected revenues of nearly €500 million in 2014. TROX GmbH, based in Neukirchen-Vluyn, is in fact in that region generally considered a company that is fit for the future and provides secure jobs. TROX offers not only excellent vocational education and training courses but is also highly committed to research and development.
 
Heinz Trox also received the Order of Merit for his establishing the Heinz Trox Foundation. The Heinz Trox Foundation, formed in 1991, aids in securing the future of TROX GmbH as an independent company. Heinz Trox currently holds 85 % of the TROX GmbH share capital of €38 million, the Foundation holds 9 %, and TROX executives hold 6 %.
 
Objects of the Foundation are supporting scientific work in the field of ventilation and air conditioning (basic research, project-specific research, support of educational institutions, grants) and promoting social and cultural activities. The Foundation supports in particular day-care centres for children, homes for children and adolescents, nursing homes for the sick and elderly, cultural and arts events and institutions, and sports activities for children and adolescents. In the 23 years the Foundation has existed, its assets have increased from 500,000 deutschmarks to more than 10 million euros.
