"Supplier Award" for Felbermayr
September 27, 2013 | Markus Lackner
The standards set by voestalpine are extremely high, which is something that all suppliers of the steel-based company will agree on. voestalpine demonstrated just one of the reasons why it is rightly one of Europe's leading steel producers at its supplier event at the end of September. The company stays "one step ahead" not just in terms of its capacity for innovation – voestalpine leads the way in putting on events too. To round off the numerous technical presentations and a fascinating look behind the scenes at voestalpine, the Suppliers' Day reached a climax during the evening's activities: The "Supplier Awards" were presented in three categories, where Felbermayr was delighted to receive the accolade of "voestalpine Partnership" from Chairman of the Board Dr. Wolfgang Eder.
DI Horst Felbermayr dedicated the award to his company's employees: "Our employees' expertise and passion for what they do, combined with the plethora of technical possibilities available to them, enables us to meet voestalpine's needs at this high level." The senior director of the same name could not hide the joy written on his face. He also took the opportunity to thank the Managing Director of Transport and Lifting Technology, Wolfgang Schellerer, and the Division Head responsible, Peter Linimayr. Both have been with the company for exactly 30 years and have therefore made a significant contribution to this success . For the senior director, receiving this award constituted something of a personal full circle, for as a young boy he often used to accompany his father to "Voest" to collect raw materials. He was therefore overjoyed to accept this prize in the form of a wooden baton. He also expressed his great admiration for the Board of Management, who have succeeded in turning the former steelworks into an "industrial paradise".
