The award ceremony took place on June 17, 2024 in the Vienna Hofburg and was attended by over 700 guests, including Austrian Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen and Labor and Economics Minister Martin Kocher.
The Silver Export Prize was awarded to FACC in the trade and craft category. The decisive factors were the company's strong growth and ongoing global expansion.

These successes underline the strategic focus on sustainable growth and innovation.
FACC's Roadmap 2030 envisages a further expansion of the global footprint. Germany, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, the USA, Brazil and China in particular play a central role in this.
