Prague/Mladá Boleslav, November 28th, 2011 – Once again, ŠKODA has won the prestigious "Czech 100 Best" award. For the eleventh time, the Czech automobile manufacturer held the coveted award as the best company in the Czech Republic. Since the year 1996, the Pan European Society for Culture, Education, and Scientific & Technical Cooperation "COMENIUS" has honored Czech companies for outstanding achievements. The award is based on the answers of more than 20,000 survey participants.

With eleven wins and five second place spots, ŠKODA is by far the most successful company of the "Czech 100 Best." "The Czech Republic has a long tradition of excellence in engineering and car manufacturing, and that is exactly what ŠKODA´s success is based on. The Czech-based car manufacturer has managed to remain on its successful course in the international automotive market also this year, and this award makes all ŠKODA employees really proud. ŠKODA has launched the biggest model offensive in its history and has set ambitious goals for the future. The awards we receive show us that we are on the right track."

"This award is a great honor for the ŠKODA company and for the performance of our employees worldwide," emphasized Bohdan Wojnar, the ŠKODA board member for Human Resources. "The award as the best Czech company makes us very proud and is the reward for hard work. At the same time, it perfectly completes yet another record year for our brand and represents an incentive for the entire team on the growth path of the coming years," according to Wojnar.

For the first time ever, ŠKODA will sell more than 800,000 vehicles worldwide this year. In the coming years, the manufacturer will continue its growth and increase annual sales to at least 1.5 million vehicles until 2018. To support this development, the company will invest in new products, capacities, and markets. In the next two years alone, ŠKODA will launch an average of one new model every six months. With the small car, "Citigo" and the compact sedan, "Rapid" intended for sale in India, the brand will introduce the initial representatives of the model offensive in the first markets during the coming weeks. The Citigo will celebrate its sales launch in the company's home market of the Czech Republic.

The festive "Czech 100 Best" award ceremony took place in the Spanish Hall of Prague Castle on November 25th, 2011, and was attended by the President of the Czech Republic, Václav Klaus.
