SACEEC Recognises Local Exporters At Inaugural Awards

The Expo, which is endorsed by the Premier of Gauteng, David Makhura, is the culmination of a collaborative effort between the South African Capital Equipment Export Council (SACEEC) and organisers Specialised Exhibitions Montgomery.

Eric Bruggeman, CEO at SACEEC, said that “it is fitting and certainly no mere coincidence, that the first-ever SACEEC Exporter of the Year Awards took place at the Local Southern African Manufacturing Expo. The Expo is the perfect showcase for the vast array of products available from local manufacturers”. Bruggeman added that there is a wealth of talent in Southern African manufacturing and SACEEC is thrilled that the industry is being placed in the spotlight. There is no doubt in our minds that the quality and innovation being exhibited at the Expo equals, and even exceeds, that which is available on the global stage.

“The SACEEC Exporter of the Year Awards allowed us to further recognise the supreme efforts invested by a number of these local manufacturers. There were a large number of entries, all of which were notable by their focused drive to provide products that are characterised by out-of-the-box thinking, coupled with careful and systematic attention to detail. Selecting the finalists, and later the winners, was an extremely hard task since all qualifying companies have excelled in their respective field of expertise,” explained Bruggeman.

“The following award winners are were commended on the sterling efforts they have made in putting South African manufacturing on the map,” said Charlene Hefer, portfolio director for Specialised Exhibitions Montgomery.
