Grand Prix of the Middle class
FAB Fördertechnik und Anlagenbau GmbH named a “finalist” in the 2024 Grand Prix for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
In September 2024, our company was honored as a finalist in the prestigious Oskar Patzelt Foundation’s Grand Prix for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. We were one of only six companies from Baden-Württemberg to climb the winners’ podium and proudly accept the coveted prize!
The annual competition organized by the Oskar Patzelt Foundation is one of the most important business awards in Germany. Our first nomination for the SME Grand Prix was in 2020 – together with almost 5,000 companies from all over Germany.
