The award was presented by Trade Minister Craig Emerson and

The Prime Minister's Australian Exporter of the Year is
selected from the winners of 12 national categories, and
Sedgman was also the winner of the National Minerals and
Energy Award. This follows on from the company's success at
the Premier of Queensland's Export Awards in October, where
it took out the Premier of Queensland's Export Award in the
Minerals and Energy category.
The Prime Minister Julia Gillard praised Sedgman's commitment
to innovation and sustainability, and congratulated the
company on its achievements saying they exemplify the skill
and professionalism of Australian exporters and their
importance to the national economy.
Trade Minister Craig Emerson said the wide range and high
calibre of the winning group reflected the depth and
diversity of the Australian economy. "Many of the
winners gained an edge on their competitors by developing or
adopting new technology, especially in the field of clean
energy."
The Australian Export Awards is one of the country's
longest-running and most prestigious business award programs.
It honours the achievements of Australian exporters and
celebrates their contribution to national prosperity.
Sedgman Managing Director Nick Jukes said the win reflected
Sedgman's success and innovation in exports, and is testament
to the company's ability to engineer mineral processing
plants that provide the resources industry with sustainable
solutions now and into the future.
"We are honoured to be recognised by the Prime Minister and
win Australia's top award for exporting. We continue to
expand into new territories, and invest in our people and
technology to provide our clients globally with market
leading services."
Mr Jukes said, "Sedgman is positioned very strongly in the
