was awarded as the best "Small and Medium
Enterprise of the Year" in the second edition of the CEPYME
Awards, highlighting its work both nationally and internationally
and its role as an engine and pulse of the economy.
"We started our journey in 2006 and this gives us the title of
favorite sons of the crisis. The change of environment, the un-
certainty and the lack of financial resources, sharpened our in-
10 Years celebrated
stinct to think different. And thinking different was not thinking
like a micro-SME, which is what we really were, but thinking as
an international company.
Developing an improper ambition of our size and trajectory, and
clinging frantically to innovation as our only rescue.", said Igna-
cio Muñoz, Molecor CEO, collecting the CEPYME prize to the
best SME of the year.
