Distributor award 2021

Our partner PORO, headquartered in Salzburg, Austria, is the winner of the GEOTECH Distributor Award 2021. The cooperation goes back to 2007 when Gerhard Schreier and Harold van Haren turned the existing cooperation into a formal partnership.

‘As a medium sized company with sales in 80 countries all over the world our distributors are of critical importance and have a crucial position in our sales strategy. Without partners like PORO we would not be able to keep our current position in the market. In 2021 PORO showed the largest increase in sales of all distributors. They well deserve the 2021 award because of this great result and our long term, fruitful and pleasant relationship’, says Harold van Haren, Managing Director of GEOTECH.

Traditionally the winner receives a Delftware plate with inscription.
