The annual Awards, produced in association with IFEMA - The Fair Trade Institute of Madrid - is now in its 8th year, recognises the best creative, technological and human achievements and developments across all sectors of the professional production and installation world.
The Award was announced during a lively evening of celebrations staged at the Auditorio Sur, a large theatre at the IFEMA Convention & Congress Centre in Madrid last week. This attracted leading industry movers and shakers from Spain and other parts of southern Europe including representatives from TV channels, cinema, production companies, advertising agencies, music and concert promoters, post studios, sales, events, technical production and rental companies.
Robe's key account manager for Europe, Ingo Dombrowski, comments: "It's a huge honour for us to win this prestigious award and to have our products, ideas, work and philosophies recognised by the industry."
Marketing manager Jiri Baros adds: "I am very proud and happy that we have won this Award . . . it also helps to draw attention to Robe's 'Think of the Future - Consider Nature' initiative." This was launched at PLASA 2010 and sees the company taking a lead in developing new and more energy efficient products, and in streamlining its production processes to be more environmentally friendly. "People will know it's something we are serious and passionate about," adds Baros.
