Award „FT1000 – Europe's Fastest-Growing Companies“ by FINANCIAL TIMES and Statista
The renowned business newspaper Financial Times, together with the statistics portal Statista, publishes the list of the„FT1000 – Europe's Fastest Growing Companies“This ranking recognizes the 1000 fastest-growing companies in Europe.
NOVAPOR ranks among these companies in 2026.
For us, this award is a special recognition of our development over the past few years. It shows that long-term investments, technical expertise, and a consistent customer focus pay off.
An outstanding achievement in a huge market
To put the significance of this award into perspective, it is worth taking a look at the scale of the European market.
There are over 30 million companies in Europe – from small craft businesses to large industrial corporations. Only 1000 companies make it onto the list of the fastest-growing firms each year.
This means that NOVAPOR statistically ranks among approximately 0.003% of the fastest-growing companies in Europe..
Or to put it another way: Only about 3 out of 100,000 companies in Europe reach this ranking.
This classification shows how exceptional such an award is – especially for a family-run industrial company.
How companies get included in the FT1000
The ranking of the 1000 fastest-growing companies in Europe is based on a comprehensive analysis of company development over several years. The decisive factor is primarily the average annual revenue growth rate..
To even be considered, companies must meet several criteria. These include, among other things, having their headquarters in Europe, demonstrating significant revenue growth, and growing predominantly organically – that is, not primarily through acquisitions.
In addition, minimum revenue requirements and a comprehensive review of company data apply.
Inclusion in the FT1000 list therefore not only indicates growth, but also sustainable economic development and entrepreneurial stability.
A special feature in the FT1000 ranking: Industrial production
The composition of the FT1000 list itself is also particularly noteworthy. The ranking is predominantly dominated by rapidly growing technology, software, and digital companies. Traditional manufacturing companies are significantly less represented.
In this environment, NOVAPOR is one of the few companies in the ranking that actually create and manufacture industrial packaging solutions themselves.
The award shows that strong growth and innovation are not only possible in the digital world, but also in modern industrial manufacturing – when technical know-how, customer proximity and continuous development come together.
Growth through innovative packaging solutions
NOVAPOR has consistently developed further in recent years. From a classic foam processor, it has become a company that develops and produces complex industrial packaging solutions.
Our customers come from a wide variety of industries, including mechanical engineering, medical technology, electronics, aviation and many other high-tech sectors.
Our experts develop packaging that does far more than just protect products. Modern packaging solutions must meet numerous requirements today. They must transport sensitive technology safely, simplify logistics processes, and simultaneously comply with increasingly stringent sustainability standards.
NOVAPOR combines different materials and technologies to create customized solutions. These include technical foams, constructive wooden packaging, industrial corrugated board systems or special case with custom foam inserts. This combination results in packaging systems that are precisely tailored to our customers' requirements.
Innovation as a growth driver
The market for industrial packaging has changed dramatically in recent years. Products are becoming more fragile, supply chains more global, and at the same time, demands for sustainability and recyclability are increasing. New regulatory requirements and rising transport demands mean that packaging is now a crucial component of overall product development.
Companies therefore increasingly need Individual and technically sophisticated packaging solutions. NOVAPOR has positioned itself precisely in this area.
Our development teams work daily to develop new solutions, use materials more intelligently, and further optimize packaging systems.
A success for the entire NOVAPOR team
An award like being included in the FT1000 list of Europe's 1000 fastest-growing companies is never the achievement of a single individual. It is the result of the work of many dedicated employees who work every day to develop the best solutions for our customers.
In recent years, our company has grown continuously – not only in terms of revenue, but also in competence, innovation and international cooperation.
Focus on the future
Being included in the list of the 1000 fastest-growing companies in Europe is an important milestone for us. At the same time, we see this award primarily as an incentive for the future.
The demands placed on industrial packaging will continue to increase. Sensitive high-tech products, global supply chains, and new sustainability regulations will significantly transform the industry in the coming years. NOVAPOR will continue along this path, working together with its customers to develop the packaging solutions of tomorrow..
