Cook Medical wins two awards in Australia
Cook recognized for contribution toward the health and biotechnology sector in Queensland
Cook Medical Australia was named the winner of the Premier of Queensland’s Export Award for Health and Biotechnology. The award recognized Cook for its export success and contribution to research and industry in the sector.
Cook’s Director-Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Vice President-Cook Medical Barry Thomas said the award is a welcome recognition of the company’s commitment to innovation, investment in people, and drive to expand into new markets.
“It is an exciting time for Cook Medical Australia. Such recognition enhances our opportunity to make advancements in the medical device industry, enabling us to deliver value for our customers and to continue helping to improve patient outcomes. We’re honored to be recognized among the other award winners and finalists and congratulate Tritium for winning Queensland’s Exporter of the Year Award for 2018. We also thank our entire team for their collective efforts in helping us win this award.”
Cook Medical was also selected as a Finalist for the Export Award for Manufacturing.
Winner for Investment in Brisbane
Cook Medical Australia also received the Lord Mayor’s Business Award for Investment in Brisbane, which recognized Cook for its growth and contribution to Brisbane’s economy.
Cook Medical Australia Managing Director Dr. Samih Nabulsi said the award is a humbling recognition of Cook Medical Australia’s commitment to Brisbane and its people.
“We are humbled and honored to receive the Investment in Brisbane award particularly knowing the achievements and contributions of our fellow finalists to business and the community in Brisbane. Our win is a reflection of our team and their hard work.”
The Award for Investment in Brisbane follows the company’s announcement earlier this year that it was expanding capacity with the establishment of a second manufacturing shift and the addition of 94 new jobs to meet increasing export demand. The company also launched the Australian Research Council Research Hub for the Advanced Manufacturing of Medical Devices (AMMD) (read more about that here), with the goal of transforming Australia’s medical technology industry.
“Manufacturing is essential to the economy, and this expansion demonstrates Cook Medical’s commitment to manufacturing, innovation, and jobs in Queensland,” said Dr. Nabulsi.
