Very little indication of notability as demonstrated by coverage in reliable secondary sources. Rd232 ^talk 09:34, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I have added some references. I think the article should be moved to Herrmann Ultraschall, the German parent company, since most of the references are about the company as a whole rather than its US subsidiary. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:33, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and move per Eastmain. Also needs some trimming of promotional language. DGG ( talk ) 03:01, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as there a complete absence of significant coverage to provide evidence of notability. All of the sources cited in this article are rountine announcements relating to the company's products, trade awards and factories. Self-promotion is not evidence of notability; there must be significant coverage that the company is notable in accordance with WP:CORP. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 12:16, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I've rigorously searched, and can't find any nontrivial coverage of "Herrmann Ultrasonics", "Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik" or "Herrmann Ultraschal". The vast majority of Google News hits are press releases. The awards are sourced to the company's website, and are so minor that even the trade magazines don't report on it. One exception is the "helped {some other person/company} win the German Packaging award". This means nothing, as notability is not inherited, and also shows that the company has never won the German Packaging award itself. Abductive (reasoning) 06:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Looking at the company profile on Manta [1] indicates that this is a small company with about 20-50 employees and an annual turnover of a few million dollars. Unless a company like that manages to attract a lot of independent coverage, it is likely to be insignificant. For once, I agree with Gavin. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
