Tragschrauber - Gyrokopter AutoGyro ausgezeichnet mit 2011 "TOP 100" award innovativste Mittelständler Deutschland

On Monday, July 4, 2011, the company AutoGyro in Rostock was awarded the "TOP 100" seal of approval as one of Germany's 100 most innovative SMEs.

This award is a great honor for the gyroplane manufacturer, as it represents all the attributes for which the AutoGyro team works daily: creativity, innovation, and technology.

The best 100 companies bear the seal of approval for one year.

The owner and founder of AutoGyro, Otmar Birkner, accepted the Top 100 award on behalf of his entire team:

"Creative ideas and fresh thinking are not just a means of increasing sales for us.

We are also passionate about what we do and want to make a difference.

The award makes us proud and shows us that it's worth it when everyone pulls together."

We, Pumpen Peters, are, of course, particularly pleased to supply a customer who sets standards with their products.

The latest new development, a gyrocopter named Cavalon, ushers in a new era:

The side-by-side gyrocopter transcends all previous limitations in terms of design, technology, comfort, and innovation, creating completely new flight experiences.

If your interest has been piqued, take the opportunity to visit AutoGyro and their gyrocopters at the Fly-in on Saturday, August 20, from 1 PM.

On this day, the hangar doors will be wide open, trial flights with gyrocopters will be offered, and a big party will be held.

This year's special highlight is the presentation of the Cavalon gyrocopter.
