The representative of AGI expressed his appreciation to government for its efforts in creating a fair and competitive business environment and ensuring consistent regulatory enforcement for local manufacturers. He also called on the relevant authorities to further strengthen support for high-quality investors and local manufacturers in Ghana.

In addition to picking the event’s highest honour, Softcare FM Manufacturing Co. Ltd. also received the award for Best Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Company of the Year. This dual recognition solidifies the company’s position as a trailblazer in both industrial performance and community upliftment.

Softcare FM Manufacturing Co. Ltd., a Ghanaianowned producer of diapers, wet wipes, and sanitary pads, has earned widespread acclaim for its unwavering focus on quality, affordability, and social responsibility. 

The company has made significant investments in local manufacturing capacity while implementing impactful initiatives that benefit vulnerable communities, hospitals, schools, and underserved populations nationwide. Through local manufacturing, job creation, and community development initiatives, Softcare FM demonstrates an exemplary commitment to social impact and national development.

Furthermore, the company’s dedication to producing affordable, locally manufactured hygiene products has helped strengthen consumer confidence in Made-in-Ghana goods. 

This contribution is vital in driving industrialisation, reducing import dependency, and enhancing national pride in domestically produced products.

The 14th AGI Ghana Industry and Quality Awards reaffirmed the strength, resilience, and innovation of Ghana’s industrial ecosystem. 

Among the outstanding companies celebrated, Softcare FM Manufacturing Co. Ltd. emerged as a standout symbol of excellence, corporate leadership, and a shining example of industrial leadership at its best.
