“I am very proud of the achievements of the FACC crew. The Best Practice Award from Rolls-Royce is a prestigious distinction that I am particularly delighted about. I would like to congratulate our highly qualified workforce on receiving this award. It is only as a team and by consistently further developing our products and processes according to the individual needs of our customers that we are able to perfectly meet the requirements of the market and thus excellently position ourselves as a partner for future orders,” said Robert Machtlinger, CEO of FACC, at the award ceremony.
