As the father of Styria, Hermann Sch\u00fctzenh\u00f6fer has made a significant contribution towards increasing this percentage for years. Particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises with high export shares, in the case of SAB up to 85%, a constant focus on development and research is extremely important. As a global player like SAB, which is constantly facing new challenges in its international markets, the fact that it knows its domestic politics is a strong and reliable partner is a huge asset.<\/p>\n<p>After years of hard and consistent work by all SAB employees, the words of praise from our Governor were more than a confirmation that the current path of SAB, from a local engineering company to an international high-tech company and innovation leader in the field of automation and thermal process technology, can be considered successful.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sab-import-gallery\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sab-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00026.jpg\" alt=\"SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00026\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sab-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00041.jpg\" alt=\"SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00041\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sab-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00042.jpg\" alt=\"SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00042\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sab-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00051.jpg\" alt=\"SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00051\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sab-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00079.jpg\" alt=\"SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00079\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sab-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00017.jpg\" alt=\"SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00017\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sab-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00033.jpg\" alt=\"SAB-Schuetzenhoefer-00033\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 19 th 2019, we welcomed a high-ranking politician to our company location in Deutschlandsberg.
