This year, the auditing and consulting organization EY presented the 17th EY “Entrepreneur Of The Year 2022” TM Award in Austria. In the category "Innovation & Hightech" STIWA Holding GmbH CEO Peter Sticht was awarded. "Peter Sticht primarily promotes innovative thinking among his employees in order to be successful in the long term," the jury said.
The EY “Entrepreneur Of The Year” is one of the world's most prestigious awards for entrepreneurs. For more than 30 years, EY has honored selected entrepreneurs in 60 countries for special achievements. Growth, future potential, innovation, employee management and social responsibility are among the judging criteria used by the expert jury. Peter Sticht received the award in the category "Innovation & High Tech" on Friday, October 14, 2022 in the Vienna Hofburg. He was chosen by a top-class jury from among several nominees as "Entrepreneur Of The Year 2022".
Open Innovation Mindset for Entrepreneurial Success
"It is important to Peter Sticht that STIWA remains a family business. This gives the company the opportunity to operate independently in the long term and economically. In order to be successful in the long term, STIWA primarily promotes innovative thinking among its employees. Breaking down learned patterns of behavior to enable the integration of innovative ideas are among the goals," says Erich Lehner, Managing Partner Markets at EY Austria and responsible for the EY “Entrepreneur Of The Year” in Austria. Peter Sticht combines a pioneering spirit and innovative thinking with courageous decisions and a sense for the market and customer needs. He demands and promotes independent work and enables employees to develop their full potential through training and development. In order to identify new opportunities for the company at an early stage, he supports an open innovation mindset in the company, develops partnerships and collaborations and promotes technology scouting.
Thanks to all employees of the STIWA Group
"The integrated interaction between automation, manufacturing and software, coupled with the innovative thinking of our employees, makes it possible to strengthen the market position of customers along the entire value chain," Sticht explained during the official speech. He thanked all employees of the STIWA Group for their dedication, without this award would not have been possible.
Important milestones in the history of the STIWA Group
In addition to the development of high-tech automation solutions, the company's major milestones include the establishment of its own production site in Gampern and a software site in Hagenberg. In addition, internationalization has been pushed forward massively in recent years, with locations in China, the USA and Germany. The clear positioning of the portfolio in the business areas of automation, manufacturing and software has brought disproportionate growth opportunities in recent years.
Continuous development in the 50th anniversary
In the anniversary year 2022, the STIWA Group is also working intensively on its further development: The software division was combined into an independent company, and a new location in Vienna was opened this year. A new production hall for successful machining is currently being built at the Gampern site. And they also want to expand their capacities internationally: In the USA, for example, a suitable property is currently being searched for in order to build its own office and production building there next year. In addition to automation, the machining division is to be set up there next year.

Developed by manufacturers with decades of hands-on production experience, this adaptable and scalable software delivers transparency, reduces costs, and supports global standardization—all while maintaining high product quality. Built by experts who truly understand your industry challenges, ensuring it adapts to your needs at any stage.
STIWA Shopfloor Software goes beyond traditional MES solutions by working directly at the machine and control level. It can read PLC data in real time without requiring middleware. This deep integration ensures high-quality data acquisition without delays, making it ideal for analysis and optimization.
Advantage: Customers get a detailed and real-time data foundation, enabling precise production control, error analysis, and process improvements.
STIWA doesn't just focus on visualizing production data; it leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning to provide deep insights. The software automatically detects anomalies, bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities, offering actionable recommendations.
Example: AI can predict machine failures, reduce rework defect rates by up to 30%, and adaptively optimize processes.
Advantage: Customers can increase productivity, minimize downtime, and reduce costs through data-driven optimization.
The software is highly flexible and can be integrated into existing production lines (Brown-Field) as well as new, highly connected manufacturing setups (Green-Field). Its modular architecture allows seamless connection to ERP, MES, CAQ, or machine control systems.
Example: Older machines without modern IT interfaces can be integrated via retrofit solutions or IoT adapters, while highly automated systems communicate natively with the software.
Advantage: Companies can digitize step by step without large investments in new machinery while benefiting from modern analysis and optimization tools.
STIWA Shopfloor Software is modular in design, allowing it to adapt to different company sizes and requirements—from single machines to complex, globally connected production networks. Companies can start with selected modules and gradually expand the solution without the need to replace the entire system.
Example: A customer can initially implement real-time monitoring and later add AI-driven optimization or predictive maintenance without requiring a system overhaul.
Advantage: The software grows with business needs, ensuring investment security and keeping companies technologically up to date with continuous advancements.
