minations
A total of as many as 307 companies were nominated for a DISCA this year. Of these, 36 advanced to the second round in the Best Parts & Process Supplier category. Five companies advanced to the finals last Thursday. After the jury's verdict, only two were left! Refitech and itsme. The audience present had the last word. It chose Refitech, which we hereby congratulate once again!
Unique achievement
DISCA'22 was an anniversary edition: it was the 20th time the awards were presented. In the event's history, itsme is the first company to finish among the first two twice in a row. We are very proud of this result and would like to thank everyone who made it possible: our employees, partners and suppliers, Link Magazine, the jury and, of course, our customers.
