Sygic Proves the Power of its Brand, Earning its Fourth Superbrands Award

The Superbrands Programme is the most respected independent global authority on brands, evaluating and acknowledging brands in more than 90 countries on five continents. This year it assessed more than 1,500 business brands operating on the Slovak market. The Superbrands Brand Council evaluated nominees based on consumer survey results. It then turned to brand experts, resulting in a shortlist of the top brands among the competition. Slovak company Sygic was again honoured by a Superbrands Award in the segment of navigation.

“We are pleased that Sygic retains its firm position in the customers’ minds, and it appears that not only in Slovakia. Millions of people all over the world use the products that we continuously enjoy innovating. We are proud of our startup drive and flexibility. They enable us to be both partners and competitors for the greatest players in the global IT business,“ said Roman Paulen, Chief Marketing Officer at Sygic.

Tireless technology and product innovations are associated with Sygic, which is dedicated to increasing driving comfort and road safety.
