Sixty-seven Vietnamese businesses were honoured in Hanoi on March 17 recognising their efforts to improve product quality in the integration process.
Among award winners, 17 received gold medals and 50 were presented silver medals.
Three businesses also won the 2012 Global Performance Excellence Award (GPEA) from the Asia-Pacific Quality Organisation. They were Ba Ria-Vung Tau Drainage and Urban Development Co. Ltd, Tien Phong Plastics Joint Stock Company, and Nghe An Agricultural Material Joint Stock Company.
At the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan noted that the awards testify to business efforts to raise the quality of their oroducts in the context of economic downturn.
He expressed his belief that the awards will serve as source of encouragement to 400,000 other Vietnamese businesses to improve their product quality and increase their status in domestic and international markets.
The National Quality Award is given to businesses that have recorded outstanding achievements in developing and applying systems for quality management according to the criteria of the US’s Malcolm Baldrige Award.
