MAXA Award is the highest national award for manufacturing excellence in Singapore. The finalists have the opportunity to undergo consultancy-styled diagnostic checks by SMa and McKinsey, and may also gain recognition of their efforts at excellence from our distinguished panel of international judges during the judging process.

The Benefits

Winners will be profiled in MAXA’s post-award publicity efforts. They may leverage upon their association with MAXA by using the MAXA logo in their marketing collaterals. MAXA is a platform where manufacturers can leverage upon the Singaporean and globally-acclaimed brand name to venture into new or emerging markets.
