94 of Australia’s leading exporters will this year fight it out for the top honours at the 2019 Australian Export Awards.
The finalists announced for these prestigious awards shine a spotlight on the enormous contribution exporters make to the economy.
“94 finalists employing 34,000 Australians and generating more than $7.8 billion in export earnings have been selected for their exceptional entrepreneurship and innovation,” Senator Paul Scarr said.
“Businesses exporting contemporary circus performances, lightning conducting and earthing systems, revolutionary horse shoes, Yellowtail Kingfish and hydraulic and lifting solutions are among this year’s finalists, demonstrating that our exporters span across all sectors of our economy.
“Local business and finalist Trisco Foods through creativity and determination are now exporting their high-quality products all around the world and employ up to 80 locals.
“I hope by sharing their success stories through these awards that they will inspire the thousands of other Australian small businesses out there to take a punt and go global.
“Exports create more Australian jobs and further strengthen our economy. That’s why our Government continues to provide more opportunities for our 53,000 exporters through expanding our network of free trade agreements.”
The 2019 Australian Export Awards will be announced in Canberra on 3 December. The full list of finalists can be found at: www.exportawards.gov.au/finalists/2019
