FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 12, 2012 -- Eminent business leaders, academics, politicians and journalists on the judging panel for this award included the former Belgian Prime Minister and BP’s Vice President.

Competing against global blue-chip and FMCG companies, the top ten ranking for AUMA is a major achievement for the SME which manufactures in Germany and has a growing international support and distribution organisation. As one of the finalists, AUMA received a Ruban d’honneur award in the Infosys Business of the Year category for companies with turnover over €150million.

Commenting on the significance of achievement, AUMA’s Technical Managing Director Henrik Newerla said:

“AUMA’s placement in the top ten is the most significant accolade to date that publicly acknowledges our business philosophy and organisational values.
“Only those candidates with stamina and conviction across all areas of analysis are robust enough to withstand the rigorous scrutiny that is conducted as part of the award process.”
