“We are pleased to announce that twenty-two organizations from eleven Asian and Pacific Rim Countries are being recognized as exemplary companies of world class quality performance.

Malcolm Baldrige Performance Excellence Award” said Charles Aubrey, Chairman of APQO and the Global Performance Excellence Award Executive Committee.

The GPEA is the only formal international recognition of performance/business excellence and is a strategic enabling tool for global performance excellence. The GPEA process promotes awareness in performance excellence as an increasingly important tool in competitiveness towards global business success and sustainability. The APQO which organizes GPEA was founded and organized by National Quality Organizations in Asian and Pacific Rim countries including the American Society for Quality. It is a primary mover for quality and continuous improvement for goods and services and quality of life in the Asia Pacific Region.
