Companies in the Metals and Engineering Sector that are keen to showcase their innovative solutions and gain industry acclaim still have time to enter the SEIFSA Awards for Excellence as entries close on October 20.

The Awards, which are due to take place on November 17, give companies of all sizes an opportunity to step into the spotlight and enhance their reputation among their peers.

“This year the SEIFSA team is committed to clearing the way to make participation easier,” says SEIFSA CEO Lucio Trentini.

The team will work with companies to prepare a draft motivation that highlights each company’s unique strengths, contributions and achievements.

“We want as many companies as possible to enjoy the industry acclaim and enhanced reputation that come with taking part in the awards, but we also understand the time pressure most companies  are under, so a personalised 30-minute Teams session with SEIFSA Marketing, Sales & Communication Executive will help companies craft the motivation for their entry,” he says.

Along with the kudos of winning or even being nominated for one of the awards on offer, submitting an entry also opens doors to industry recognition as companies showcase their excellence.

“Participating in the awards will elevate your company’s brand image and credibility and ensure you are viewed as a trusted and innovative industry expert,” says Trentini.

The nine award categories are as follows:

  • Most Digitally Innovative Company
