Multivac honours committed employees

At Multivac, trainees and students with exceptional achievements were honoured with an internal company sponsorship award.

After all, a company like Multivac needs committed and responsible junior staff who are committed to ensuring that we continue to set standards in the market with our pioneering packaging and processing solutions."
