SBO wins Vienna Stock Exchange ATX Award

Ternitz/Vienna, 2 June 2023. Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO) was awarded first place in the main category “ATX” at the Vienna Stock Exchange Awards. After three third places in the ATX Award in 2011, 2012 and 2017, as well as third place in the Journalist Award 2020, the top position in the most prestigious discipline was achieved this year. The independent jury of analysts from the Austrian Association for Financial Analysis (ÖVFA) cited compelling financial reporting, investor relations, strategy and positioning, and corporate governance as reasons for their decision. Market-related factors, such as top performance in 2022 and relative liquidity, also tipped the scales in favor.

Gerald Grohmann, CEO of SBO: “The year 2022 was driven by both strong market dynamics and customer demand. Through solid communication and professional positioning in the capital market, we were able to achieve a high level of visibility for our Company. We are delighted to receive this award, which is also proof that the Vienna Stock Exchange is an excellent trading venue for an international company like SBO. I would like to thank the team of the Vienna Stock Exchange, and also my dedicated team, with whom we will continue to consistently pursue our path to success with Strategy 2030.”
