The Ottensheim (Upper Austria)-based company Weigl was recently honored with the “JULIUS Award” presented by the Upper Austrian Business Association, which is regularly conferred to quality companies that strengthen Upper Austria as a business location through qualitative products and services.
“It’s a special award for us, because we’re known especially abroad due to our high export quota. The ‘Weigl Control‘ brand stands for joy and imagination. Our control devices – better known worldwide as ‘Show Controllers’ – bring attractions to life. The perfect synchronization of various components, such as audio, light, animatronic figures, motors, videos and many special effects create unforgettable moments for the visitors. In addition, the show controllers are used for the interactive design of facades, event saunas, wellness areas and public spaces such as museums, parks, water features and seasonal and thematic designs in theme and amusement parks,” states the company.
By presenting the JULIUS Award (named after the organization‘s founder Julius Raab), the business association expresses its appreciation of regional companies. Also, the award is intended to help to present the company as an attractive employer – something that is becoming increasingly important, especially in the search for skilled workers. (eap)
