And Amut is now in the running for the final prize, the national Ruban d’Honneur. “The European Business Awards are one of the premiere world competitions because they involve a significant number of businesses of a certain calibre, attracting the major media. We are honoured to have passed the first round and to move on in the competition,” commented Piergianni Milani, Amut president.

Sponsored by RSM International, the European Business Awards recognize and award excellence, best practices and the most innovative companies operating in Europe. The Awards are open to all companies regardless of size or sector. The winner receives the final prize of the Ruban d’Honneur.
