The region's leading industrial technologies players recognised at the 2009 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Industrial Technologies Awards

Singapore, August 20, 2009 – Frost & Sullivan hosted the annual Asia Pacific Industrial Technologies Awards banquet in Singapore, today. Held for the fourth consecutive year, the awards recognises best practices in Industrial Process Control, Electronics & Security, Energy & Power Systems, Chemical, Materials and Food, Measurement & Instrumentation and Environment & Building Technologies industries.

Thirty-three most sought after titles were conferred to the deserving organisations at a gala-evening attended by 150 senior business executives from the industrial technologies industries.

The best practices and outstanding industry performance by these recipients prove that economic climate is not a deterrent to operational success of top-players. Reinstating this point, Sanjay Singh, vice president for Industrial Technologies at Frost & Sullivan commented, "We believe that organizations that have successfully navigated the past 12 to 18 months and have shown exemplary performance in growth, expansion and customer acquisition need to be recognized so as to inspire and positively influence all their stakeholders and customers. This is precisely what the Industrial Technology Awards aims to do."

The awards identify and credit best practices in the industry segments and are in-tuned with Frost & Sullivan's in-depth analysis and coverage of these industries.
