1 December, 2006
The annual Australian Export Awards ceremony last night proved the venue for the latest accolade bestowed on Brisbane-based diversified mining and minerals processing engineering and project services provider, Ausenco Limited which listed on the Australian Stock Exchange to critical acclaim earlier this year.
Witnessed by a jubilant showing of fellow Australian exporters and business leaders, Ausenco was presented with the Australian Export Award for Services at a gala event in Melbourne. The Services category, sponsored by Export Finance and Insurance Corporation, was keenly contested by 6 other State award winners and co-finalists including Macquarie Bank Limited.
“Receipt of this award symbolises the significance of Ausenco’s contribution to the national export sector” said Managing Director, Zimi Meka. The sales level of export services for the company have grown by over 250% over a 12 month period complemented by a tripling of personnel numbers in the past 2 years to adequately meet international demand for Ausenco's services.
“It is indeed a privilege to be honoured with such a prestigious award and for the hard work and determination of our international team of 850 people to be recognised in such a fantastic way” Mr Meka said.
Ausenco’s ongoing involvement in international projects such as Equinox Minerals’ Lumwana Gold Project (Zambia), Tiomin Resources’ Kwale Titanium-Bearing Mineral Sands Project (Kenya) and Harmony Gold’s Hidden Valley Gold-Silver Project (Papua New Guinea) were illustrative of the company's contribution to Australia's export sector.
"The diversification of our experience, commodities spread, project exposure and proven ability to deliver continues to afford us a spans of international opportunities. In partnering with our valued clients overseas we are effectively utilising our core capabilities and further leverage our export position for the future” Mr Meka said.
Ausenco is currently managing a suite of overseas projects with an installed capital value of $1.8 billion covering the processing of precious metals, base metals, industrial minerals, uranium and mineral sands.
