Frankfurt am Main/Maintal, Germany 27 October 2014 - NORMA Group, a global
market technology leader in engineered joining technologies, sponsors the
new Manufacturing Management Award of the Frankfurt School of Finance &

EUR 9,000. The business school awards the prize to the three best graduates
of its Master's in Management (Master of Science, M.Sc.) whose theses
address topics of the manufacturing industry.

The Manufacturing Management Award 2014 was presented on 24 October 2014 in
the Paulskirche in Frankfurt am Main during the Frankfurt School's
graduation ceremony. "The Frankfurt School is a prestigious business school
and is well known for its high educational standards," said John
Stephenson, COO of NORMA Group. "We attach great importance to supporting
university research of topical and relevant industry issues." The three
winners received EUR 1.500, EUR 1.000 and EUR 500 respectively in prize
money. "We highly appreciate that NORMA Group generously supports
outstanding graduates and thank NORMA Group for its commitment," said Prof.
Dr. Udo Steffens, President of Frankfurt School.

A three-strong jury of Frankfurt School professors reviews the master
theses based on the following criteria: topics' relevance, reference to the
manufacturing industry, influence on industry changes and the theses' final
marks. NORMA Group has been cooperating with the Frankfurt School since
2012, for instance on project management issues as well as with regard to
promoting young talents and management training. Several Frankfurt School
students are writing their master theses with NORMA Group; the company also
regularly recruits graduates from the business school.
