Gumpoldskirchen, February 12, 2026 – NOVOMATIC has been a certified leading company since 2013 and this prestigious status has now been confirmed once again following a comprehensive screening. The evaluation process, which takes place every two years, ensures that certified companies meet the highest quality standards. Decisive criteria include sustainable corporate goals such as innovation, growth, and targeted employee development. As one of Lower Austria’s largest employers and a substantial taxpayer, the international gaming technology group makes a sustainable contribution to Austrian value creation. At the same time, NOVOMATIC is pursuing a long-term ESG strategy that combines economic performance with ecological responsibility and social sustainability.
“Long-term corporate success is based on stability, innovative strength, and a clear sense of responsibility towards employees, society, and the environment,” emphasized NOVOMATIC Executive Board Member Stefan Krenn as he received the certificate at the Group’s Lower Austrian headquarters alongside fellow Executive Board Members Ryszard Presch and Johannes Gratzl. “This renewed recertification as a leading company confirms our strategic orientation and our commitment to combining economic strength with sustainable corporate management.” Monica Rintersbacher, Managing Director of Leitbetriebe Austria, also emphasized the significance of the award: “For many years, NOVOMATIC has been exemplary in the areas that define a leading company: international technological innovation on the one hand and a clear commitment to its location, employees, and society on the other.
