Spar Wilfinger in Neudau: The most popular local supplier of Styria!

In a solemn event, the title "most popular Styrian local supplier" was awarded today, and the election fell on the Spar Wilfinger in Neudau, Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district. This award initiated by Antenne Styria and WKO Styria shows how important the community's voice is. The residents had the opportunity to coordinate for their favorite care providers and thus told a story of regionality and solidarity. "We are very happy about the victory and support of our customers," said a spokesman for Spar Wilfinger, who reacted proudly to the award. The results were recently announced and Meinverkirk reports on the lively vote.

The award ceremony included a big celebration in the form of a Pop Up radio show on May 31, 2025, which started at 9 a.m. The event was a real feast for the whole family with live moderation, competitions, a cap castle, photo boxes as well as children's entertainment and delicious grillery. "Such events enliven our region and offer a great setting to get together," said Gottfried Bichler, Managing Director of Antenne Styria. Manuela Klammler-Almer, chairwoman of the state committee of the food trade, emphasized the importance of regional local pupils, as they make a significant contribution to the quality of life in the communities.

Heimthelden and commitment to the region

A central point of the presence of Spar Wilfinger in Neudau is the initiative "Heimathelden", which particularly appreciates people who shape life in the region. This campaign also expresses the appreciation of the population for local companies that are indispensable in their daily life. "It is inspiring to see how strongly the public is committed to its local suppliers," continued Klammler-Almer. This makes it clear that local retailers not only sell goods, but are also an important part of the social structure.

During the celebrations, the “animal-committed” animals also launched a call. Until June 6th, projects that are involved in the field of animal welfare will be sought and awarded a total of 5,000 euros. This initiative, which has been active since 2014, supports animal rights activists and their work in the region. This is further proof of how diverse the commitment in Styria is and how different local institutions work together to improve the quality of life.

local local supplier as the backbone of the municipalities

The importance of local supply in Austria should not be underestimated. As wko, the quality of life in the communities is closely linked to an intact supply structure. Independent food merchants play a crucial role here by ensuring the basic care for all age groups. Due to various funding measures that the state of Salzburg provides, local care is to be specifically improved. The initiatives aim to support existing companies and to receive new start -ups so that the population is still well cared for.
