Ethiopian Quality Award organization (EQA) has awarded three Companies for Quality Excellence in an event held at the Hilton, Addis Ababa.

Sino Ethiopia Associate Factory is this year’s “High distinction” awardee while Luna Export p.l.c. and Ecas Chemico p.l.c were awarded as the “distinction” quality awardees.

The award was attended by Tadesse Haile, State Minister of Industry.

Dr. Admasu Tsegaye, president of AAU and board chairman of EQA gave trophies and certificates to the winners and participants of the competition.

The companies were awarded for winning the fourth ‘quality excellence’ competition that was conducted among the registered 16 companies engaged in commodity export.

EQA was founded seven years ago by a joint collaboration of Walta Information Centre and Addis Ababa University. It managed to hold four quality excellence competitions since.

The first, the second and the third award events had been attended by the then President Girma WoldeGiorgis, the then deputy Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn and President Mulatu Teshome, respectively.

The organization evaluates companies in four categories such as manufacturing, service providers, non-profit service providers and construction.
