The workplace safety solutions provider – who now exports to more than 20 countries globally - was named the winner in the Emerging Markets category. With entries having been open to all exporters in KwaZulu-Natal, this was unmistakenly a top achievement for the company.

• Manufacturers - all companies operating in the manufacturing sector in KZN

• Africa - companies who export into Africa

The awards - now in their 18th year - are a showcase and celebration of emerging and established KwaZulu-Natal based exporters of a wide range of goods and services, with the aim of stimulating the growth of the province’s economy.

“We are honoured to have been recognised in these categories and want to extend our sincerest gratitude to our clients in both the exports and domestic markets for their ongoing support and continued business. As a trusted partner to hundreds of businesses across Africa and beyond, we remain deeply committed to our purpose of keeping people safe at work and continue to maintain excellence and innovation in all that we do”, said Tven Heyer BBF Group Export Manager.
