In a separate award ceremony, Axis received the Swedish Trade Council's Grand Export Award of 2009. The award, presented by His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden, recognizes the Swedish company that has demonstrated strong export growth, success in multiple markets, profitability and positive development of its Swedish operation.

"We are extremely happy and proud to have received these two prestigious awards in competition with a number of other successful companies. Axis has shown strong growth in international sales over the past five years. We have seen greater market interest in our network video products and requests from our customers for functional design that is attractive and useable in security installations worldwide," says Ray Mauritsson, president of Axis Communications.
