The prestigious Star Awards are presented to entrepreneurs and companies that have excelled, recognising the dedicated people who have worked purposefully to develop their companies.
The Company of the Year award recognises companies that demonstrate development, innovation and good economic growth; that show commitment to societal issues and follow society's ethical norms and values; and that is an owner and role model both locally and regionally.
Jon Lind, CEO for CTEK said: ”We are really proud to have won these prestigious awards. It is a real acknowledgement of the tireless effort of our teams, who have continued to build our company and maintain CTEK’s brand presence in an ever-changing market, resulting in our recent public listing on Nasdaq Stockholm.”
The Brand of the Year award recognises companies who have worked purposefully, strategically, and successfully with their brand, and where the brand and brand work are documented and anchored in the company.
Florent Pellissier, CMO for CTEK said “This Brand of the Year Award is a testimony to the drive, ambition and innovation we have, to make CTEK an essential part of people’s lives. We are proud to have established strong brand loyalty, top-of-mind awareness and trust amongst our customers. This Award is an acknowledgement to the dedicated efforts of our teams in building and maintaining the presence of our brand – not just in Sweden, but all over the world.”
There were eight Star Awards being presented in total: Brand of the Year, Youth Entrepreneur of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Export Company of the Year, New Entrepreneur of the Year, Dalaprofil of The Year, and Company of The Year.
Jon Lind continued, ”Whilst the last 2 years have been challenging for organisations across the globe, Darlana has proved that it is a region with a strong, diverse and resilient range of companies. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of the shortlisted companies, and also the deserving winners of all the other awards.”
The nominees and the winners were selected by Dalarna Business based on proposals received through the dalarnabusiness.se website, through business offices in the county and local business networks. There were a dozen different weighting criteria for each of the Star Awards, including economic and environmental sustainability, product uniqueness and process innovation.
