The leader in auditing and consulting services, Ernst & Young (EY) announced the winners of the 23rd edition of the Entrepreneur of the Year Brazil Program, an online event held last Tuesday, April 27, 2021, in partnership with Forbes.

During the award ceremony, representatives of five categories were announced. WEG´s Chairman of the Board, Décio da Silva, was the winner in the Family Enterprise category, representing successful family companies in the market they do business, with emphasis to the management generating positive impact on the business and on the community.

Receiving this nomination makes all of the members of the Silva, Werninghaus and Voigt families very honored and proud. We want to dedicate this award to the three founders of the Company, Mr. Eggon, Mr. Werner and Mr. Geraldo. Valuing people has always been a point that deserved the founders’ special attention on the great legacy they left us: “If machines are missing, you can buy them; if there is no money, you can borrow; but people you can’t buy or borrow, and people motivated by an idea are the basis for success”. That´s why, we want to share this recognition with all the employees of WPA, Oxford Porcelains and WEG SA, who contributed to building this company to be solid and competitive”, said Decio da Silva, WEG´s Chairman of the Board.

The Entrepreneur of the Year (EOY) program celebrates 35 years at EY global and has been held for 23 years in Brazil, always intending to recognize innovative leaders who have been transforming markets and generating positive impacts on the community.

“This is the way that EY found to value, every year, the entrepreneurs that have been making a difference in the business ecosystem of the country and the legacy they leave behind”, said EY Private partner and leader of the Entrepreneur of the Year and Winning Women Brazil programs, Raquel Teixeira.
