Speaking about the win, Seeley International founder and executive chairman Frank Seeley said it was great recognition for a company that had been developing, designing and manufacturing products in the industry for almost two decades.

“Winning the Innovation category for the Australian Business Awards reflects the commitment of the entire Seeley International team to set the industry benchmark,” said Seeley.

“At a time when there is a great deal of focus on the future of the Australian manufacturing industry, we hope that this award inspires others to have a go and reinforces that a commitment to innovation is crucial to turn the nation’s manufacturing sector around.

“With the capability to deliver superior cooling at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods without adding any moisture, we knew Climate Wizard was a ground breaking product, and our commercial customers have voted with their feet so that businesses across the nation are now reaping the benefits.”

The Australian Business Awards program director Tara Johnston was equally positive about the achievement of Seeley International in the awards.

“The Australian Business Awards recognise our most innovative organisations, their outstanding achievements and contribution to the Australian economy,” she said. “The awards raise the bar across all aspects of quality management and provide organisations with ways to review their business and product performance as well as identify their core strengths.

“An Australian Business Award solidifies Seeley International’s place as a leader alongside our best in business. As well as achieving outstanding outcomes, the honourees have enhanced the reputation of their professions and have demonstrated their best endeavours across business, industry and the community.”
