announcement of the 100 winners at a Gala Dinner on Wednesday evening. During the earlier pre-selection process, Red Herring's editorial team rigorously examined hundreds of private companies by means of a careful analysis of technology innovation and technology impact, market footprint, financial health and other criteria including quality of management and execution of strategy. The Red Herring lists, which contain the best private companies, are an important criterion used by industry experts and investors to identify new and innovative technology companies. ??Former winners such as Google, eBay and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors, who identified these companies as leaders in changing the way we live and work. ?APATEQ received this award on the basis of its disruptive proprietary technology for oil-water separation and its fast establishment on the market with its compact waster treatment plants for demanding applications.

The entire APATEQ team is pleased about this important award. “It is a great honor to be declared a winner of the Red Herring 100 Europe award. Besides the increasing demand we are facing, the award is an additional indication to us that we are on the right track with our mission to simplify and make clean the oil-water separation. For a better environment and for the benefit of oilfield operators” says APATEQ CEO Bogdan Serban.

The event was held from April 7 to April 9 at the Mövenpick Hotel in Amsterdam
