Premier Roger Cook has congratulated the winners of the 2023 Western Australian Export Awards including a Myaree-based manufacturer.
Now in its 35th year, the prestigious accolades recognise the success of local companies and provide a platform to raise the profile of the State’s export industries.
Manufacturer AVI took out the top award for its performance designing and manufacturing specialised communications systems for industries around the globe.
Premier Roger Cook celebrated the winners.
“Congratulations to all the winners and finalists in the 2023 Western Australian Export Awards,” he said.
“WA is an export State, and successful export businesses means more local jobs and a stronger State economy.
“The range of sectors featured just shows the breadth of WA’s capability, from large-scale mining and industrial operations, to innovative start-ups, and small to medium businesses,” Cook said.
Other winners include Fremantle Octopus, which won the Agribusiness, Food and Beverages category, ZHIVAGO winning the e-commerce category, and Smartstream taking home the Sustainability and Green Economy Category.
This year saw a record number of nominations, with 86 applications submitted from 36 companies. All State winners will progress to compete in the Australian Export Awards in Canberra in November.
Exports of goods and services contributed $270.4 billion to the Western Australian economy last financial year with WA accounting for 46 per cent of merchandise exports in 2022/23.
