Zinzino has been appointed as a Gazelle Company 2013 in Sweden

We, at Zinzino, are delighted to have been appointed as a Gazelle Company 2013 by the Swedish business paper Dagens Industri! The award means that Zinzino is one of Sweden's fastest growing companies, both in terms of profitability and job creation.

This evening, November 26, Zinzino will participate in West Sweden’s Gazelle Celebration 2013.

- It's really great to get recognition of our success. We have experienced tremendous growth in the last years and it has been a fantastic journey. We eagerly look forward to 2014, says Fredrik Nielsen, CFO of Zinzino.

To be appointed as a Gazelle is a big honor and the criteria are tough. Yearly, less than 0.5 percent of all Swedish
stock companies are appointed as a Gazelle. The Gazelle companies are of great importance for the national growth and are central role models for all entrepreneurs.

Gazelle Criteria
To be appointed as a Gazelle in Sweden, the company must meet a number of criteria. It is always the company's four most recent annual reports that are underlying the Gazelle survey.
