Last week, PALFINGER invited its shareholders to the Annual General Meeting. This time, however, the visitors traveled to the PALFINGER World in Lengau. Not only an exciting demonstration of the PALFINGER universe awaited them, but also a Green Meeting.
Green Meeting
PALFINGER organized this year’s Annual General Meeting for the fiscal year 2017 as a Green Meeting and met the criteria laid down by the Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism. In this way, it was once again possible to underline the company’s sustainable activities. The provision of environmentally friendly travel and accommodation, an environmentally friendly venue and sustainable catering (regional, seasonal, low in packaging) are basic prerequisites for the event in order to receive the certificate. Documents were reduced to a minimum and printed on eco-labelled paper. As a guest gift, each shareholder received a pocket umbrella made of PET bottles.
PALFINGER World
Another highlight was the venue: the PALFINGER World. Only opened last year, it serves as a meeting place for all interested in PALFINGER. There were many interesting things to discover for the shareholders:
- PALFINGER’s history from 1932 until today
- 3D cinema screen
- Experience with Virtual Reality glasses
- Crane models and aerial work platforms with an original control system
- Media table with PALFINGER products
Fiscal year 2017: continuation of growth and a new vision
In 2017, the PALFINGER Group once again succeeded in increasing its revenue, achieving a record figure for the seventh time in succession: Revenue increased by 8.4 per cent to a new high of EUR 1,471.1 million.
The most fundamental change made in 2017 was the development of a new vision and an expanded strategy for our PALFINGER Group. On the basis of our time-tested strategic pillars of innovation, internationalization and flexibility, we have defined a new, supplementary pillar: PALFINGER 21st. We have summed up the essence of our vision in one sentence:
TOGETHER WE ARE SHAPING THE FUTURE OF OUR CUSTOMERS’ LIFTING SOLUTIONS.
