Oxycom has been recognized as an FD Gazellen International 2026, an award from Het Financieele Dagblad for companies that demonstrate distinctive international growth. Oxycom finished in a shared second place as one of the three finalists.
The FD Gazellen International Award is presented to companies that combine strong growth with demonstrable success outside the Netherlands. To qualify, clear criteria apply. For example, a company must generate at least 25% of its revenue from abroad and achieve at least 25% revenue growth over at least three years.
In addition to these quantitative criteria, a professional jury also assesses the quality of the international growth strategy. This includes evaluating the vision on internationalization, the ability to adapt to different markets, the company’s ambitions, and the role of sustainability and leadership.
The jury of Het Financieele Dagblad describes Oxycom as an innovative family business that has deliberately chosen a clear positioning in sustainable climate control for the industrial market. By focusing on standardization, the company creates a foundation for international scalability. In addition, the jury expresses appreciation for the consistent and focused strategic choices through which Oxycom is able to capitalize on existing growth opportunities.
