Leonding (euro adhoc) - Leonding, November 17, 2010. One of the
world´s premier business contests, and certainly one of its toughest,
has reached its finale: the European Business Awards. Rosenbauer, a
global-playing manufacturer of fire engineering equipment, was
nominated as one of the Top 10 best companies in the category "The
Infosys Business of the Year Award".

This contest - sponsored by HSBC and others - honours excellence,
best practices and innovations in the European business community. It
gives companies from EU member states the opportunity to measure up
against one another in ten different categories, across sectors and
across borders. Entering for this prestigious award is a chance for
companies to benchmark themselves against the best businesses in
Europe and to submit themselves to rigorous independent analysis of
their economic significance.

An international accolade As one of 15,000 entrants from 30 different
countries, Rosenbauer succeeded in being ranked among the best 10 in
the category "The Infosys Business of the Year Award". The European
Business Awards 2010 were presented in Paris on November 16, 2010.

leading manufacturer in its sector. We concentrate on doing what we
do best - on our core competences - and have been reaping
international success as a result."

Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards, had the following
comments to make on the success of the various category winners:
"Each year we witness impressive entries from some outstanding
companies who have some great stories to tell. This year is no
different; the quality of applicants is rising as are the number of
entrants, so these organisations who have achieved Country
Representative status truly are the best of the best".
