Awards

"The award as Global vendor goes this year to a vendor who has worked with our hotels in many places over the world; Most recently adding services in South America to help Marriott Procurement establish an effective supply chain for new openings. This family owned company has been led by various generations and is currently under management of a very young and dynamic team with an innovative approach to our Global business. Their humor, down to earth attitude, always available and seeing no barriers, are the key points of their success. They have great expertise in their product due to their retail background and are able to pass this on to Marriott for product development. All of this have led to the fact that our guests have a very comfortable and pleasant night at our hotels. This company is a role model when it comes to global sourcing, something they initiated long before anyone else in the industry and before most even knew what global sourcing was. Their long standing business relationships with China has put them into a position to provide best in class products. Please join me in congratulating Hanse as winner of the 2014 Global Award."

"Even after 100 years, Richard Behr & Co. is still open to explore new ways, new countries, also to conquer new product groups. Just as we planned this year with mattresses.
We greatly appreciate this innovating thinking, it is important. Above all, what I said is true. We love and appreciate the work we do together. Within so many years, 100 years! A while ago we have awarded Richard Behr & Co. a diploma to show our appreciation, it is now time to renew this. Today we will call this the English name, instead of a diploma, an award. Today, Richard Behr & Co. is not only our supplier, but OTTO’s Partner. Our partnership is very important and we value your loyalty.
We would like to express our appreciation and gratitude, especially in this historic year, the 100-year anniversary. The Strategic Partner Award is the least we can do to show how important this partnership is. Mr. Habertag and Mr. Fenner, if you would please join me.
I would like to thank you on behalf of the entire company OTTO, for the strong partnership and successful profitable cooperation. I present this award as a sign of our recognition. "
