Hagleitner is honored as the company of the year in Salzburg!

Zell am See, Österreich - What's new from Zell am See? The hygiene manufacturer Hagleitner conquered the hearts of the Salzburg economy and was awarded the Salzburg Economic Award "Wikarus" as "company of the year" on May 27, 2025. This honor was presented in the festive framework of a gala evening in the Kavalierhaus in Kleßheim, where co-managing director Hans Georg Hagleitner received the trophy from the hands of Peter Johann Buchmüller, the President of the Salzburg Chamber of Commerce. A success that the company is obviously proud of!

In a charming connection between family tradition and innovation, Hagleitner presented a world first in Milan: a fully automatic petrol station for cleaning robots, which was presented by his daughters Katharina and Stefanie. This exciting novelty was presented at the "Issa Pulire 2025" trade fair, which is currently taking place in Milan. Here Hagleitner shows that the company is also very popular internationally, with a range that, in addition to cleaning and disinfectant, also includes cosmetics and high-quality hygiene paper.

family business with foresight

"We are optimistic about the future," says Hagleitner. Until March 2026, the family -run company plans to retire Hans Georg Hagleitner. Then his daughters will keep the company alone. This is an exciting time for Hagleitner, because it is not only a change in the company, but also a sign of trust to the next generation. Hagleitner currently operates 27 logistics facilities in twelve European countries and employs around 1,300 employees who work for quality and excellent service.

In the financial year from April 2024 to March 2025, the company generated sales of impressive 170 million euros - with an export rate of 45 percent. This not only proves the strength of Hagleitner on the international market, but also the great success of the company in the hygiene industry.

recognition and employer quality

The award as the "company of the year" is not only an honor, but can also have an impact on the employer brand. As in many industries, it can be seen that companies with such awards are considered attractive employers. Various employer seals, as are also mentioned on TALLETION, companies help to position themselves positively. Last but not least, these seals influence recruiting and recruiting new talents.

The combination of innovation, sustainability and a strong employer brand could open further doors and consolidate their market position. It will be interesting to see how the company will develop under the leadership of Katharina and Stefanie Hagleitner. In any case, the cheers about the award remains unbroken - the company has a good hand for the future!
