Manufacturing kudos for race car engineers

A FORDE business is a finalist in the 55th Australian Export Awards, recognising success in putting Australian innovation and expertise on a global stage.

Noonan Race Engineering is in the running to win the Manufacturing Award, to be announced at the ceremony in Canberra on December 5.

One of the finalists will be named the Australian Exporter of the Year.

Member for Forde Burt van Manen (pictured) said the awards celebrated the international success of local companies, recognising their export achievements and contribution to Australia’s economic prosperity.

“I am delighted that Noonan Race Engineering is one of 77 finalists in the running for an award,” he said. “The company provides top quality engine components for professional motosports teams and is certainly deserving of this recognition.

“More than a third of this year’s finalists are classified as small businesses, with 20 or fewer staff, and for 59 per cent of finalists, exports comprised more than half their revenue.”
