CHI Limited Wins MAN Award for Best Kept Industrial Premises
Chi Limited, Nigeria’s leading fruit juice, dairy and snack manufacturer, has been announced as the first place winner for adopting best workplace production practices and processes among competing multinational companies in Nigeria.
The company received the award from the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria’s (MAN) at its 50th Annual General Meeting and Awards, held in Lagos, recently.
The award was a deserved reward for the company’s continued passion for excellence and commitment to sustainable development exemplified by the company’s significant investment in manufacturing and other related infrastructural projects. Chi Limited’s investment in modern production infrastructure has been a critical enabler for competitiveness, research & development and productivity growth.
An ISO 22000 certified company, Chi Limited’s world class and state of the art manufacturing facility deploys the most advanced processing and packaging technology available anywhere in the world. Its strict adherence to world class manufacturing standards and consistent efforts to ensure the most efficient process possible has been key to the company’s success and recognition.
A MAN multi-panel selection committee comprising of regulatory bodies, both at state and federal levels, noted that Chi Limited took the first-place prize because of its world class manufacturing facilities and processes.
These facilities and processes have helped Chi Limited create a more environmental-friendly workplace by preventing cross contamination, reduction in waste trips, sorting and recycling.
