Pairi Daiza is Company of the Year in Wallonia

Pairi Daiza was crowned Company of the Year in Belgium's French-speaking region of Wallonia this week. Eric Domb, head of the animal park, received the award from King Philippe.

Pairi Daiza won the 20th edition of the competition over IT service company EASI of Nivelles, construction company Eloy Group of Sprimont and pharmaceutical company Mithra of Liège.

In collaboration with L'Echo and BNP Paribas Fortis, the organisers of the award described Pairi Daiza as “a business built from scratch, which after 20 years of innovation has become Belgium's number one tourist attraction, and known as far as China as the land of pandas."
