On June 17, the Austrian export industry celebrated two anniversaries: 10 years of Born Global Champions & 30 years of Export Day. A great reason for the ICS team to actively cheer on the Styrian companies at this year’s awards ceremony!
Born Global Champion
Supaso, THE “rising star” in the packaging sector from Hartberg, offers sustainable packaging solutions made of innovative materials that are fully recyclable. Fabian Gems and Georg Lackner accepted the Born Global Champion award on Monday evening. This prize is awarded to startups that perform on the global stage right from their inception.
Austrian Global Player 2024
Jakob Santner & Johanna Teresa Landlinger from Anton Paar were clearly delighted to receive the special Austrian Global Player 2024 award! This award honors companies that are not only successfully active in exports but also leave a red-white-red footprint through their commitment abroad. Anton Paar does exactly that. Founded in 1922 as a one-man operation, the vision was already clear: to make a global impact soon. The founder’s daughter (incidentally the first female master locksmith in Styria) focused on innovation, technological openness, partnership, and cooperation. Under the current CEO, the Graz-based company has developed into a market leader—and the expansion continues. With a spirit of innovation and strong partnerships, the Graz-based company is now a market leader with 40 locations worldwide. Congratulations to Anton Paar—a true global player setting new economic and ecological standards.
