In Schleißheim Castle near Munich, Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger honored the 50 fastest-growing medium-sized companies in Bavaria: BAYERNS BEST 50.
NAF Neunkirchener Achsenfabrik AG received the white “Bavarian Growth Lion” at the festive ceremony and is therefore one of four companies from the Upper Franconia region to receive the award. The prize was received by the Management Board members Dr. Norbert Knorren and Erwin Urban on behalf of the company.
“We are very proud of this award, which highlights NAFs positive development in recent years and underlines our importance as a major employer in the region. Our thanks go first and foremost to our employees, who are essentially responsible for this success.” says Dr. Norbert Knorren, Chief Sales & Finance Officer.
The award honours 50 particularly fast-growing medium-sized companies that have been able to increase the number of their employees and their turnover above average in the last five years.
NAF won the award already in 2020. This Award is being presented for the 24th time this year. After an application phase, the award winners are selected by Baker Tilly GmbH & Co. KG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft as an independent juror based on objective criteria.
