The prestigious award is jointly supported by the NSW Government and the Export Council of Australia.
We are overjoyed and incredibly proud to announce that Planet Lighting has achieved a remarkable double victory at the Premier's NSW Export Awards 2024! In a highly competitive field, with over 200 nominations and 17 other businesses recognised, we were honoured to receive both the NSW Exporter of the Year 2024 and the Small Business of the Year award at the state level.
This extraordinary accomplishment wouldn't have been possible without the incredible talent, dedication, and passion of our team. Our Planet Lighting family has contributed to this success, and these awards are a true testament to their hard work and commitment to excellence.
The prestigious Award program, delivered in partnership between the NSW Government and the Export Council of Australia, is now in its 62nd year and is the longest-running business award in Australian history. Winners were announced across five state categories and 13 national categories, recognising excellence in a wide range of industries. As a national category winner, we are extremely thrilled to be progressing as finalists for the Australian Export Awards, to be held in Canberra next month.
The Minister for Industry and Trade, Anoulack Chanthivong, also attended the Gala night and praised the winners, stating, "A big congratulations to Planet Lighting and all our other NSW Export Award winners who are shining bright overseas and showcasing the best of what NSW has to offer the world.”
Our recent success story with the Paris Olympic Village, where our interactive lighting solutions illuminate the pathways and ramps, has garnered attention from local news outlets, including this story from 7News above.
2024 NSW Exporter of the Year Award Winner Planet Lighting
The Planet LED Puck, our flagship product, continues to drive our export success. Its adaptability—whether illuminating a grand stadium or a delicate historical facade—combined with its exceptional energy efficiency and remarkable lifespan, has made it a sought-after solution worldwide. From large infrastructure projects like the Dubai Metro to historically and socially significant venues like the Paris Olympic Village, the Planet LED Puck showcases the versatility and performance of Australian design and engineering.
These awards inspire us to continue pushing the boundaries of sustainable lighting design. We are incredibly grateful for this recognition and excited to see what the future holds for Planet Lighting.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Premier's NSW Export Awards and to everyone who has supported us on this incredible journey. We offer special thanks to Dianne Tipping, Chair of the Export Council of Australia, and Anoulack Chanthivong, Minister for Industry and Trade, for this recognition. We are especially grateful for the ongoing support from the NSW Government, including Investment NSW and the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade). Our gratitude also extends to our commercial partners and friends at DHL AU and our wonderful overseas distributors.
We are excited to continue illuminating the world with innovative and sustainable lighting solutions for many years to come.
