32 companies and individuals have been honoured at this year’s Ghana Manufacturing Awards.
The event organized by XO-DUS Communications aims to celebrate innovation in the manufacturing industry with the ultimate aim of compelling professionals and companies to compete locally and globally.
The Awards further looks out for the very best in manufacturing from all aspects of the manufacturing industry, sharing landmark work and developments taking place across so many important areas of science, engineering, innovation and technology.
Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry, Robert Ahomka-Lindsay, noted that government is doing everything to support the manufacturing industry.
“Everything we are doing supports an industrial strategy, supports manufacturing. When you are clear in that you can then begin to make decisions because the decisions you make at manufacturing are not 6-months or 3months turnovers… you will not build brick and mortar if you believe tomorrow morning we’re going to wake up and change our minds so the strategy has to be clear, concise and to the point,” he stated.
CEO of GIHOC Distilleries, Kofi Jumah was awarded the CEO of the Year whilst Voltic Ghana won the Brand of the Year award.
