Awards for excellent industrial performance
The 1996 Hong Kong Awards for Industry were presented by the Governor, the Rt Hon Christopher Patten, this (Monday) evening to five companies in recognition of their excellence in industrial performance.
This year's winners are: Spectra Technologies Co Ltd for the Consumer Product Design category; Prima Design Systems Ltd for the Machinery and Equipment Design category; C and C Offset Printing Co Ltd for the Productivity category; QPL International Holdings Ltd for the Quality category; and TAL Apparel Ltd for the Export Marketing category.
The winners are entitled to display the official logo of the awards scheme on the company letterheads, envelopes, complimentary slips, press advertising and other promotional materials for a period of three years.
They also receive a trophy, an individually-crafted sculpture, as a memento of their achievement.
Introduced in 1989, the award scheme commends distinguished companies which have achieved excellence in different aspects of industrial performance.
Competitions are held annually in the six award categories each organised by a different organisation.
The Federation of Hong Kong Industries is responsible for the Consumer Product Design category; the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong for the Machinery and Equipment Design category; the Hong Kong Productivity Council for the Productivity category; the Industry Department for the Quality category; the Private Sector Committee on the Environment for the Environmental Performance category and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council for the Export Marketing category.
Apart from the Hong Kong Awards for Industry, which are presented to the most outstanding entry in each category, each of the six organisations also gives out a number of awards and certificates of merit in its own name to deserving entries in the category for which it is responsible.
