Riwal was named one of 12 category winners following a final live judging session, after the competition began last year with more than 112,000 businesses from 34 countries initially considered. Having been named as one of 2,898 businesses as “Ones to Watch” in December 2017 and then as one of 289 National Winners on May 1st, Riwal advanced to the finals where a final judging panel selected it as winner of the category for customer and market engagement.

More than 450 successful business leaders from across Europe came together at the two-day event with politicians, ambassadors and academics to celebrate the remarkable business achievement of Riwal and the other category winners in Europe’s largest and most prestigious business competition.
