In a resounding testament to the quality and competitiveness of Zimbabwean industry, six out of seven national entrants have been crowned winners at the prestigious SADC Annual Quality Awards. This outstanding achievement marks a significant milestone for the country’s business sector on the regional stage.  

The victorious companies, Tobacco Processors Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd, Zimtrade, Saint- Gobain Construction Products, Formula Chemicals (PVT) LTD, Bitumen World (PVT) Ltd and Tazviona Lois Ngonyamo have demonstrated exceptional commitment to quality management systems, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Their journey to regional recognition began on home soil; all six were winners of the coveted Zimbabwe National Annual Quality Awards in 2024, automatically qualifying them to represent the nation at the SADC level. 

This win is a phenomenal achievement for Zimbabwe. For six out of our seven submitted companies to be honored by SADC is a clear indicator of the high standards and dedication prevalent within our industry. We celebrate wholeheartedly with these deserving winners. 

The formal recognition will take place during the upcoming SADC Industrialization Week, hosted in Madagascar. Between July 28th and August 2nd, 2025, the winning Zimbabwean companies will be presented with their awards, certificates, and the regional acclaim they have earned. 

This triumph serves as a powerful inspiration for other Zimbabwean businesses. The pathway to such recognition starts nationally. Aspiring companies are encouraged to note that the call for entries for this year’s Zimbabwe National Annual Quality Awards opens on the 16 of June 2025. Winning at the national level is the crucial first step towards potential regional glory at future SADC Awards.  Read more on the SADC Website
