Tribute to sponsors of awards for industry
The Director-General of Industry, Miss Denise Yue, today (Monday) paid tribute to 20 sponsors who had donated $3.3 million this year to the Hong Kong Awards for Industry.
Miss Yue said at a cheque presentation ceremony that the awards, organised for the seventh consecutive year in 1995, was initiated by the Government in 1989 to recognise outstanding achievements in industrial performance. "The awards, previously known as the Governor's Award for Industry, have become widely accepted as Hong Kong's highest and most prestigious form of recognition of excellence in industrial performance," she said.
Miss Yue noted that the 141 entries received this year continued to reflect a diversified and diversifying industrial base.
"The six judging panels under the chairmanship of Mr Andrew Li are currently evaluating all the entries. The results will be announced at a presentation ceremony on September 28," she said.
A total of six Hong Kong Awards will be presented under six categories: consumer product design, machinery and equipment design, quality, productivity, environmental performance, and export marketing.
The sponsors who presented their cheques today are: Chekiang First Bank Ltd; Chen Hsong Holdings Ltd; Chiaphua-Shinko Copper Alloy Co Ltd; Gold Peak Industries (Holdings) Ltd.; Hang Seng Bank Ltd; The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd; Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation; The Kowloon Motor Bus Co (1933) Ltd; Lippo Group; Shanghai Commercial Bank Ltd; Standard Chartered Bank; TAL Apparel Ltd; Mr Vincent W F Woo; ACL Group; the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce; Hong Kong Petrochemical Co Ltd; Motorola Semiconductors Hong Kong Ltd; Rank Xerox (Hong Kong) Ltd; Regatex Manufacturers Ltd; and Sino Land Company Ltd.
The cheques were received by representatives of the six organising bodies of the award, namely, the Industry Department, the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Productivity Council, the Private Sector Committee on the Environment, and the Trade Development Council.
