PCB Business of the Year Award

In announcing the Nedbank PCB Business of the Year, Chamber CEO Andrew Layman, paid tribute to the exemplary way in which NuTec approaches its business of manufacturing high quality vitamin & mineral premixes for the animal feed industry. Over a number of years, this company has steadily improved its productivity and profitability. In considering the merits of NuTec’s candidacy, the selection committee remarked on the extent to which the company has focused on adding value. A meaningful part of its current service to its customers includes consulting on feeding technologies, and NuTec is the only premixing company that is compliant with current human food safety standards. Earlier in the year, NuTec was the winner of the corporate sector in Productivity South Africa’s regional competition, and a gold award finalist in the national competition. “Using the Twenty Keys workplace improvement plan, the company’s attention to detail is quite outstanding,” said Layman. “It is impossible to find a flaw in the company’s compliance or business practice. The PCB regards NuTec as a model worthy of emulation.” The award was accepted by the Chief Operating Officer of the company, Mr James Berry, who said that the success of the operation is attributable to every member of his team and thanked his staff of 50.
