Every year since 1994, the Austrian Export Prize is awarded to Austrian companies with the most success in foreign markets. This year, Novomatic applied for the prize and emerged as a winner in the Tourism and Leisure Industry category.
"As a globally operating gaming technology group with exports to more than 75 countries, this prize is not just a high commendation for Novomatic’s successful international engagement, but also confirmation that we are contributing significantly to Austria’s export success," said Novomatic CEO Harald Neumann. "Not only that, we are proud, with an export quota of around 97%, to do our part for Austria’s economic success," he continued.
"Novomatic is not interested in short-term profit maximization, we prefer to think long-term," said Novomatic CEO Harald Neumann on the company strategy. The company plans to shift focus to a consolidation of the corporate group so that global growth can be fostered over the next few years. "This also, of course, includes modest acquisitions and the evaluation of various national subsidiaries in regards to their optimization potential." He noted that after rapid growth over the past few years, the time has now come to optimize internal processes and structures across the board.
