Steber wins Commercial Manufacturer of the Year
International recognition for the Taree boatbuilder has been a long time coming"After 71 years, we are now internationally recognised as a leading commercial boat manufacturer," enthused Alan Steber after winning the Commercial Manufacturer of the Year Award at the Australian Superyacht, Marine Export and Commercial Marine Industry Conference.
Held in conjunction with the 2017 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, the awards win will help create business opportunities including the potential to expand into new markets, new boat models and establishs agencies in other countries, added the General Manager of Steber International.
"We already export to over a dozen countries across the globe, with emerging markets in the Asian region as well as Indian and Pacific Ocean island nations, providing current and future growth potential for our company [based in Taree, NSW].
"Our global influence in the manufacture of quality commercial vessels can only increase with the growing acknowledgement created by winning this award."
Steber says that immediately following the awards (and ongoing) he has been congratulated by a range of international suppliers of marine insurance, brokers, chain suppliers and even opposition boatbuilders, many wishing to visit our Taree factory and see how we operate.
"The award recognises the Steber excellence in their field and also the 'value-for-money' in the commercial range from 8-20m vessels."
"Steber International are also recognised for their creative approach in building the ultimate high-strength and safe vessels to the Australian Marine Safety Authority (AMSA) standards.
"Many say: there are boats and then there are Steber craft."
The award was presented to Steber by deputy CEO of the Australian Marine Safety Authority, Gary Prosser, in front of around 270 delegates at the conference and gala dinner.
Following the conference, the Steber stand at the boat show received numerous inquiries and meetings with current and potential new suppliers will continue.
