HASSLACHER Group presented

At a ceremony in Vienna on Tuesday evening (28 September) the HASSLACHER Group and its eight sites across four countries were presented with the coveted Austria’s Best Managed Companies Award for outstandingly managed medium sized companies.

“We are delighted to have won over this distinguished jury and we are proud to have received this prize,” said Franz Meließnig (HASSLACHER Group CFO), who accepted the award on behalf of the entire leadership team. The interactive Best Managed Companies programme is already running in well over 30 countries and was introduced in Austria for the first time this year, evaluating Austrian companies with an annual turnover of about EUR 100 million against international standards. The HASSLACHER Group made an impressive showing in all four priority areas - Governance & Finance, Strategy, Productivity & Innovation and Culture & Commitment.

“Medium sized companies are the backbone of our domestic economy and have recently done outstanding work adding value and safeguarding jobs during the COVID pandemic. Sustainable management and a forward-looking strategy are crucial to long-term success in this context. Which is why we are so pleased about this award,” said Christoph Kulterer, CEO and owner of the HASSLACHER Group.
