The Australian technology firm operating in the defence market, Electro Optic Systems (EOS), won two awards at the 2018 ACT Chief Minister’s Export Awards.

The ASX-listed company won the Manufacturing Category award as well as being titled the ACT Exporter of the Year.

The export-focused award ceremony was held at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.

“EOS is proud of this recognition by the ACT government of EOS Defence Systems,” stated Grant Sanderson, Chief Executive Officer of EOS Defence Systems.

“We have secured a number of large international contracts over the last two years, however, the true value of these contracts to Australia is only as good as the performance by the manufacturing and delivery team at EOS Defence Systems.”
