LONDON, 13/3/06

STRATO, the leading European web-hosting company and Internet provider, has won the award for the European Seal of Excellence in Multimedia for the third year in a row. STRATO is the only European Internet service provider to receive the Platinum Award from the Brussels European Multimedia Forum (EMF) this year.

With over 300 International companies in contention for the award, STRATO managed to beat stiff competition to become one of only 30 International companies to receive the honour for exceptional advancements in its technology, applications, services and marketing strategies throughout Europe.

Phillippe Wacker, Secretary General, EMF, said, "STRATO was awarded the European Seal of excellence in Multimedia for its outstanding offer of high quality, mass-market products and services, at low prices across Europe. STRATO has helped encourage the growth of the Internet and is clearly leading the market in terms of its marketing approach."

STRATO was able to fulfill several criteria in order to gain the EMF seal of approval, including innovation, user-friendliness, performance, the development of new markets and notable social benefits brought to the customer through STRATO products and solutions.

´Receiving our third EMF platinum award demonstrates that our innovative services both satisfy customer requirements and offer critical added value to the market", said Damian Schmidt, CEO, STRATO. ´´As a market leader in European Internet service provision, we will continue to pioneer products, service, reliability and pricing, and further leverage our relationship with freenet.de, our parent company."
