The semi-final results for the upcoming EuropaProperty CEE Manufacturing Excellence Awards (CEEMEA) representing the most outstanding and accomplished manufacturers, suppliers, companies, and individuals throughout the region in 2014 has been announced. The anticipated celebration, which will be attended by some of the region’s leading manufacturers and business leaders, will take place on June 18th 2015, at the Intercontinental Hotel in Warsaw, Poland.
Craig Smith, the Publisher and Founder of EuropaProperty, CEO Magazine and organiser of CEEMEA, commented: “The quality of the shortlisted companies for the third annual CEEMEA 2015 awards is very high and some of the most recognized manufacturing sector companies and their representatives will be competing for the highly prestigious awards. It pleases me greatly that this year we have received a record number of nominations, which affirms the CEE Manufacturing Excellence Awards as a true industry landmark event.”
Building on the success of last year’s event, CEEMEA is again being hosted in the InterContinental Hotel. With over 100 manufacturing executives and 300 industry leaders attending the summit and gala, and with 20 awards covering the leading manufacturers and suppliers, this event is promising to be a not to be missed occasion.
The annual CEE Manufacturing Excellence Awards & Strategy Summit will support and recognize manufacturing success in all sectors of the industry, and is now widely trumpeted as the most prestigious manufacturing awards promoting the region to the international manufacturing sector.
The selected companies will compete over a total of 20 awards for manufacturing business achievement in 2014 including manufacturing, suppliers, companies, industry professionals and excellence in leadership.
Furthermore, five of the most important categories in manufacturing will be covered: Production Innovation, Excellence in Manufacturing Management, Information Technologies for Manufacturing, Sustainability and Environment, and Business and Science.
As well as Manufacturing Supplier & Professional Service Categories. These awards recognize excellence in the advisory and outsourcing services, innovative products and IT Systems that are provided to manufacturing companies.
There will also be a Grand Prize for the Manufacturing CEO of the Year. This award distinguishes the best overall manufacturing firm and individual in the CEE region. This award specifically highlights achieved excellence in manufacturing. It confirms the exceptional achievements of the company, which led to its prosperity in every respect, and thus significantly increased their competitiveness.
