"Entrepreneur of the Year 2005"
Awarded annually by Ernst & Young, the eighth Swiss “Entrepreneur of the Year” award in the category Industry/High-Tech went to the founder and CEO of Contrinex, Peter Heimlicher.
The highly prestigious prize is awarded by an independent jury according to severe selection criteria. Peter Heimlicher, who was already one of last year’s short-listed finalists, this year made it all the way to the top, winning the much sought-after title for himself and his company.
The jury was particularly impressed by Peter Heimlicher’s capacity for strategic thinking, which allowed him to turn his company from a one-man operation in 1972 to an international concern with 330 employees worldwide.
Hirschmann Automation and Control congratulates and looks forward to a further successful co-operation.
