With this award, the professional community recognizes Klaus Pöttinger’s outstanding achievements and lasting contribution to the advancement of modern agricultural and environmental technology. For decades, as a visionary and innovator, he has set new standards and launched flagship projects that have shaped the industry. One example is the Falconic system he developed, which enables significant steps toward digitalization in waste management technology.

The system ensures end-to-end transparency throughout the entire process chain, increases efficiency, and significantly reduces CO₂ emissions. Equally significant is his pioneering work in dry biogas fermentation. Klaus Pöttinger’s continuous refinement of dry fermenters has decisively advanced this technology. Today, our systems make a valuable contribution to clean, sustainable energy production—while simultaneously achieving significant CO₂ savings. Particularly encouraging are the recent successes with additional systems sold in Hungary in 2025, which confirm the strong international demand. Under his technical leadership, PÖTTINGER Waste Management Technology remains the clear technology leader. Quality, innovation, and reliability guide our daily work.

For us, the “Award of Merit” is both recognition and motivation to continue steadfastly on this path. We would like to thank our customers, partners, and our entire team for their trust and consistently excellent collaboration. Congratulations, Mr. Pöttinger—here’s to many more milestones!
