FNB Namibia Business has renewed their sponsorship towards the NMA Manufacturer of the Year Gala Awards ceremony for the next three years.

This year's support amounts to N$100 000.

FNB executive officer for business, Johan van der Westhuizen, said the support shown to the awards was to help emerging small and medium enterprises.

“We know that NMA will host a successful event, especially in promoting entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises, something that is close to the heart of FNB Business,” said Van der Westhuizen.

The Namibian Manufacturers Association holds the national annual event to inspire and motivate its members to continue being innovative and to raise awareness of the high standard of manufacturing in Namibia, while at the same time highlighting the important role which the sector plays in wealth and job creation in Namibia, and the rest of the SADC region.

Namibia Manufacturers Association CEO Ronnie Varkevisser expressed his satisfaction at the support FNB was showing to the planned award ceremony.

“We advocate better working relations and dialogue between all stakeholders such as manufacturers, retailers, consumers and government. We thank FNB Namibia for their support and wish to advise that because of their ongoing support, the service of the association to members is greatly enhanced and we are able to deliver on our promises,” said Varkevisser.

FNB for its part said that it recognised excellence in the manufacturing sector, saying that it played a meaningful role alleviating poverty.

“We remain committed to service excellence and recognise the role that the manufacturing business plays in creating much needed employment in our country” concluded Van der Westhuizen.
