Vienna, Austria. Leica Mikrosysteme GmbH deserves its victory in this year's ALC "Austria’s Leading Companies" in the "Golden Middle" category: Revenue and operating profit their 90 employees reached during the past three years were outstanding. The company is the leading ultramicrotome manufacturer all around the globe.

The satisfaction felt by Stefan David, Managing Director of Leica Mikrosysteme GmbH, was very apparent as he received the prize - an exclusive work of art by the up-and-coming young Viennese artist Berenice Darrer. The award was presented by Chamber of Commerce President Christoph Leitl during this year's closing gala in the city hall of Vienna.

Every year, the Austrian business paper Wirtschaftsblatt and its partners - PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Austrian credit protection association, as well as sponsors T-Mobile and SAP Austria - present the country's most dynamic companies and recognize those that have reached the peak through especially robust growth and a solid financial base.
