The Silver Gazelle went to Rem of Trebnje, which specialises in modular buildings, mobile homes and residential containers. It has recently almost doubled its production capacities and expanded on its headcount.

The Bronze Gazelle went to RLS, a maker of rotary and linear motion sensors, which won the Golden Gazelle last year. It generated EUR 14.6m in revenue last year and currently employs a workforce of 115.

The award ceremony was addressed by PM Miro Cerar, who described Gazelles as role models that motivated young people into following their example.
