About this award
Welcome to the Australian Made Awards 2024, the prestigious accolade programme presented by APAC Insider, celebrating the vibrancy, innovation, and growth of the manufacturing industry throughout Australia! Returning for its third instalment, this annual awards programme recognises the remarkable contributions of firms that have excelled in manufacturing, driving economic growth, and setting recognised benchmarks.
Targeting a broad spectrum of enterprises, from flourishing start-ups to well-established businesses, the Australian Made Awards 2024 aims to showcase the diversity and enterprising spirit of Australia’s manufacturers. The programme, curated by APAC Insider, is tailored to shine a spotlight on businesses of all sizes that are innovating, evolving, and contributing to the thriving manufacturing landscape.
Heading into 2024, Australia’s manufacturing industry is poised for growth with a projected value of US$88 billion! However, a decrease in output, enterprises, and employment is expected. The sector has rebounded post-pandemic, focusing on competitive subindustries like food & beverages and metals, while others have declined. The year 2023 saw a 2.8% growth in output and profits, but a -1.5% drop in employment, reflecting a shift towards high value-added production.
APAC Insider is at the forefront of championing the Asia-Pacific region’s economic triumphs! By hosting the Australian Made Awards 2024, we aim to cast a spotlight on the stellar achievements within the manufacturing sector, inspiring businesses to reach for the stars and redefine the benchmarks of industry excellence.
The awards process for the Australian Made Awards 2024 is straightforward and transparent. Alongside open nominations, APAC Insider employs a dedicated in-house research team to identify and analyse firms deserving of recognition. This approach ensures a level playing field, enabling companies of all sizes to compete fairly. The rigorous evaluation process considers several factors, including business performance, innovation, market presence, customer service, and commitment to excellence.
This awards programme is completely free to enter and if your firm is lucky enough to be successful, you will be presented to our circulation of 105,000 and promoted on our official website for a minimum of 12 months.
In addition, our awardees are welcome to choose from our range of competitively priced promotional opportunities to increase exposure of the good news!
If you would like to nominate yourselves, or indeed another business you feel is worthy, then please complete the voting form found above.

Frequently asked questions
How long has APAC Insider been in circulation for?
APAC Insider has been in circulation since 2015 and has been building up an impressive reputation for its excellent look into the sectors it covers. The publication aims to serve the vast Asia-Pacific region, which is home to more than one third of the world’s biggest businesses including the likes of Toyota, Sony and Bank of China. APAC Insider is published by AI Global Media, a UK based publishing group launched in 2010.
Where did my nomination come from?
A company or individual can be nominated in various ways, including self-nomination, nominated by a third-party, or nomination by our in-house research team. In the interest of maintaining high response rates, we do not ask nominees to reveal their identity. The main ethos of our awards system is that your ability to succeed is not linked to the number of votes received, with the most pertinent belief behind this being that all awards will be received on merit. As a means of identifying spam votes and countering cyber-threats, we monitor the website for unusual behaviour.
What happens if I agree to be considered further?
As we look to keep maximum focus on relevant candidates, we ask all nominees to accept their position on the shortlist. This gives individuals complete control in their decision on whether they would like to move forward with the award. There is no cost for you to be added onto the shortlist or if you go on to win. Nominees who accept will then proceed to our internal vetting procedure. Nominees are given an opportunity to present their own data which gets considered alongside the information collated by our research team. Please note it can take up to 8 weeks for research to be completed.
Who selects the winners?
We employ an impartial panel of individuals to conduct all the research to a high standard, and our research team are well versed in fact-checking and mediation. At the helm we have a veteran academic leader with international academic and training experience. Our continued use of this panel plays a key part in enforcing APAC Insider’s stance that winners are not determined by popularity, but by their contributions to the sector.
Is there a winner’s ceremony?
While we appreciate everyone will want to celebrate their success, this can look different to all winners. Many of the awards are also open across various regions within the Asian Pacific, and therefore many separate events would need to be arranged. Alongside this thought, we believe in keeping a cost-effective marketing philosophy, and do not wish to add further expense to any business or individual. Our press announcements are made digitally, online and across our network to enforce our position as digital publishers. We aim to provide you with the tools (both digital and physical) to generate real-world value.
If I do win, what happens next?
There is a short press embargo in place where we ask winners to refrain from any public announcements, giving us the chance to prepare the different means of coverage we offer. During this period the program manager will liaise with you to agree on the most appropriate coverage for you. Our main feature takes the form of a digital magazine, but we also offer physical trophies, wall mounted plaques, digital certificates, web-based advertisements, and press releases. The range of options are aimed to make the awards tailor-made to each individual firm, regardless of budget.
Are there any costs involved?
All awards are at no cost to be nominated or to win. We do offer a variety of paid additional benefits for our winners, and these are entirely optional and merely supplementary to your award rather than essential. To demonstrate our commitment to no mandatory fees, all winners are offered a free of charge promotional package. Our company policy will always remain: regardless of budget, our clients should always be able to garner the full value of the award.
I have another question that isn’t listed here.
