WINDHOEK – MTC Namibia added yet another prestigious award to its cabinet when it received an International Quality Award in Paris, France, last Tuesday, from the Global Trade Leaders Club.
The award is in recognition of MTC’s commitment to quality and excellence of service.
MTC was bestowed with the award based on a review by the Global Trade Leaders Club “as market leader in its field of industry and having demonstrated leading global standards of quality in its operations,” read a statement released by MTC.
Accepting the award on behalf of MTC was its Chief Human Capital and Corporate Affairs Officer, Tim Ekandjo, who presented MTC’s credentials to a packed audience of over 7 500 international industrial firms from all sectors of the Global Trade Leaders Club.
According to MTC, Ekandjo focused his presentation on marketing Namibia as an investor friendly destination highlighting the peace and stability that prevails in the country, abundance of natural resources and excellent road and telecommunications infrastructure that make it ideal for foreign investment.
“I would also like to encourage you to visit Namibia should you ever wish to take your family to the most beautiful country in Africa,” said Ekandjo.
The Global Trade Leaders Club is an international association that has been created to promote trade relations amongst companies across the world.
Also speaking at the event, the Global Trade Leaders Club Secretary General, Ricardo Roso Lopez, said that the International Europe Quality Award recognizes and heralds the struggle of all companies (across the world) fighting in the field of quality and gives special recognition and distinction. It is internationally recognized as a coat of arms of exceptional quality to those receiving it.
Enterprises from over 30 countries have been awarded the prestigious award of quality this year, including only three companies from within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, the other two being AMB (Ltd) from Mauritius and Mais Saude LDA from Mozambique. MTC is the first Namibian company to be conferred this award and with the conferment MTC was also formally inducted as a member of the Global Trade Leaders Club
“MTC intends to use this powerful network not only to their benefit but to all like-minded companies in Namibia who wish to do business or collaborate outside of Namibia – this way we allow others to benefit through us,” said Ekandjo.
