Today Eska received a visit from two members of the Committee of the Koning Willem I Prize, who announced that the company was selected as one of the three finalists of the prestigious Koning Willem I Prize in the category ‘large businesses’.

This independent prize for entrepreneurship is presented every two years to companies that have shown daring, decisiveness, sustainability, perseverance and good entrepreneurship.
