Philately NewsAustrian Post issued a €3.10 commemorative stamp on 6 November 2026 for the 80th anniversary of the Federation of Austrian Industries. Anita Kern’s design combines a blue drawing of the House of Industry with the number 80. The Vienna first-day postmark repeats the building and anniversary. Joh.

Earlier Austrian industry associations took up residence in the building on Schwarzenbergplatz in 1911. Karl König designed the building. The predecessor organisations merged after the monarchy ended, and the resulting body was dissolved following the 1938 annexation by Nazi Germany. The current federation dates its founding to 18 November 1946 and adopted its current formal name in 1996.
