Stefan Gilmozzi, CEO of Viveon, accepted the award in the category of “Business-oriented Service Providers” from Erwin Huber, Bavarian State Minister of Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology. The award ceremony was held last night in the Allerheiligen-Hofkirche of the Munich Residenz. “The Bavarian Quality Award is an important accolade for us. It endorses our pursuit of quality and is an incentive for us to continue following our own path. We’re pleased that the fulfillment of our ambitious quality goals has been recognized outside of the company by an independent body,” said Viveon CEO Stefan Gilmozzi.

SHS CEO Dirk Roesing believes that this award for Viveon confirms the strategy of SHS: “The transparency of quality services is critical in our industry. By merging with Viveon, we have increased the technological lead of our service portfolio and strengthened it through the addition of a leading consulting expert in the German-speaking region.” Since 1993, the Bavarian Quality Award has been presented by the Bavarian State Government in five categories.
