03.02.2025 PIKO Export Market of the Year 2024

On 01 February 2025, the export meeting took place at PIKO in Sonneberg. On this occasion, many partners were welcomed to the Thuringian headquarters, who, among other things, look after the distribution of PIKO models in France, Italy, Hungary, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. As part of the event, which was characterised by interesting presentations, lively discussions and an entertaining evening, the title of ‘Importer of the Year’ was traditionally awarded to the partner who best met or even exceeded the previous year's targets. For the year 2024, the title went to Emmemodels from Italy, represented by Ms Daniela Maccari and Mr Fausto Faustini. The PIKO team congratulates Mrs Maccari, Mr Faustini and their team on this outstanding achievement and would like to thank them for their great commitment to the PIKO brand.
