IT'S A GOLD! EREMA received one of the top Austrian business awards on the evening of 9 June 2011 – the golden Pegasus.
The Pegasus is a business prize awarded by the highly respected Upper Austrian daily newspaper "Oberösterreichische Nachrichten" and is presented in several categories to the most successful companies of the province every year. EREMA was the major winner of the evening in the medium-size enterprises category at this year's Pegasus ceremony, now in its 18th year. At around 300, the number of entries surpassed expectations by far. It was once again the job of the jury, consisting of representatives of the province of Upper Austria, financial experts and journalists to choose the best companies.
Over 700 guests experienced a magnificent gala ceremony in the large concert hall of Linz Brucknerhaus. CEO Manfred Hackl received the golden Pegasus on behalf of the entire EREMA workforce and was overwhelmed by the remarkable success. "This award belongs to all of us – without exception! Our dedicated employees are proactive with their ideas and help us to shape processes, thus making a continuous contribution to the further development of our products - this is the secret behind the success of our company. This award goes to the team as a whole," he explained proudly to the audience and prominent politicians present. It was also interesting to note the many high-ranking well-wishers, including members of the federal government with Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann leading the way.
