The Premier has congratulated Liferaft Systems Australia on winning a top national award at the Australian Export Awards in Brisbane last night.
Liferaft Systems Australia, based in Derwent Park, was named the 2007 Small to Medium Manufacturer.
This follows its success in the Tasmanian Export Awards, where it won the 2007 Tasmanian Exporter of the Year and the 2007 Tasmanian Small to Medium Manufacturer award.
Mr Lennon said he was proud to see Liferaft Systems continue the pattern of Tasmanian businesses gaining recognition at the Australian Export Awards.
“In the past four years, three Tasmanian businesses have become national export award-winners,” Mr Lennon said.
“Tasmania is an island of innovation and this award recognises the superb products and services that we export throughout the world.
“Tasmanian exports are at a record high and are growing at three-and-a-half times the national rate.
“Liferaft Systems Australia has been one of Tasmania’s top export performers for well over a decade.
“It has built a reputation for quality, reliability and design excellence in its marine evacuation systems.
“This business has done an exceptional job of growing and expanding its international markets and now employs 60 people.”
Liferaft Systems Australia Managing Director Michael Grainger said: “In the past financial year, we have increased export sales by 40 per cent and in the forthcoming year, we expect to expand into new markets such as Scandinavia and Europe.”
Mr Lennon said Liferaft Systems Australia was expected to continue as a key player in Tasmania’s manufacturing industry and major contributor to the local economy, with a number of innovative products in the pipeline.
