Monday, January 18, 2010

Sixty eight companies were honoured today (January 18) at the 2009 Hong Kong Awards for Industries (HKAI) presentation ceremony at which the Chief Executive, Mr Donald Tsang, officiated.

The Grand Award winners are: Golden Sun Home Products Limited (consumer product design), Kent Engineering Co Limited (machinery and machine tools design), The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (customer service), Kingdom Fine Metal Limited (environmental performance), Fuji Xerox (Hong Kong) Limited (productivity and quality) and Convergence Systems Limited (technological achievement).

A total of 264 entries were received, covering a wide range of industrial and business sectors. The winners were decided by the final judging panels chaired by Professor Tsui Lap-chee.

The HKAI was launched in 2005 by merging the former Hong Kong Awards for Industry and the former Hong Kong Awards for Services, established in 1989 and 1997 respectively. The HKAI, championed by the Government, recognises Hong Kong enterprises in both the manufacturing and services sectors for their outstanding achievements, particularly in moving towards higher technology or higher value-added activities.

The award covered seven categories - the consumer product design category organised by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries; machinery and machine tools design category organised by the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong; customer service category organised by the Hong Kong Retail Management Association; environmental performance category organised by the Business Environment Council; innovation and creativity category organised by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce; productivity and quality category organised by the Hong Kong Productivity Council; and technological achievement category organised by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation.

The 2009 HKAI media partners are Hong Kong Economic Times, Metro Broadcast, and NOW BNC.
