Awards

OVERVIEW

The Manufacturers' Monthly Endeavour Awards is Australia's premier national awards for manufacturing excellence.

Recognising the essential role manufacturing plays in Australia's economy, Manufacturers' Monthly established the Endeavour Awards program back in 2003.

Now in its ninth year, the Endeavour Awards is the only national awards program specifically for Australia's manufacturing industry.

The Endeavour Awards celebrate and recognise the achievements of industry leaders in their drive to achieve 'best practice' and excellence in manufacturing.

The Awards Presentation Dinner hosted by comedian James O'Loghlin was held on Wedneday 9 May 2012 at Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf, Pyrmont.

Congratulations to all of the winners for 2012!
