of the Year Awards were presented
at the inaugural Local Southern African

SACEEC CEO, Eric Bruggeman,
says, “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. There is a wealth of

being placed in the spotlight. There is no

doubt 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 allow 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
focused on providing 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,” Bruggeman continues.
“The following award winners are
commended on their sterling efforts made
in putting South African manufacturing on
the map,” says Charlene Hefer, portfolio
director for Specialised Exhibitions
Montgomery.
