Atlanta, GA – October 2, 2023 – Past Friday, the German-American community came together at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC for this year’s GACC South 2023 North Carolina Gateway Award Ceremony.
This year Huber Technology was awarded the North Carolina Gateway Award for their longtime involvement with the German community as well as their significant growth since 2001, becoming a top equipment manufacturer in the US and Canada. HUBER Technology, Inc., a US and Canadian subsidiary of HUBER Group is a global manufacturer of innovative municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment machinery and remains committed to sustainability and providing customers with top-quality equipment at the highest value.
The event was an overall success: Around 120 guests, not only from North Carolina, but from all over the Southern US region came together, enjoyed the sprawling views from inside the Carolina Panther’s Stadium, connected with industry leaders within the GACC South community, and most stayed well beyond the last call to continue conversations.
During the Award Reception Klaus Becker, President at Nirosteel, LLC, Chairman at The NC Zeitgeist Foundation, and former Honorary Consul of The Federal Republic of Germany was recognized and received a Lifetime Achievement Award.
