Founder of Engcon receives medal from H.M. the King of Sweden

This Royal Medal, also known as the Court Medal, has existed since 1840. The medal is awarded to Swedish and foreign citizens for special merit and to officers of the Royal Court for long and faithful service. This year, this honorable medal is being stretched to Stig Engström for his meaningful efforts within Swedish business.

"I received a letter informing me that I have been chosen along with five other people to receive this medal from H.M. the King. However, due to circumstances, the presentation ceremony will take place at a later date," Stig Engström, founder and owner of Engcon, told me. 

This royal medal is round with an embossed image of the king and is intended to be worn around the neck. On the reverse side it states why the medal was awarded. Stig Engstrom is receiving this medal for his contribution to Swedish business. Engstrom states: 

"My mission is to make the excavation industry safer and more efficient. It is great that my work and that of Engcon as a company is being recognized in this way. I consider it a great honor to be awarded with this medal".
