B5 Plus Steel Industry, a renowned premier manufacturer of steel and iron products, took the 23rd position in the Ghana Club 100 Award ranking, which is a giant leap from its 48th position in 2017.
This remarkable progress, industry watchers say, speaks volumes about the company's resilience and tenacity to be competent in the race to prove its quality in products and services.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of B5 Plus Company Limited, Mukesh Thakwani, told the media in a post-award interview dedicated the award and the impressive performance to the company's numerous clients.
According to Mr. Thakwani, "Our sales have increased positively. We are trying constantly to improve on quality and services."
He added that "B5 Plus believes in supplying quality products to its clients at their doorsteps."
The positive ranking comes a few months after B5 Plus commissioned its $80 million metal factory in line with the Ghanaian government's 'One District, One Factory policy'.
Mr. Thakwani pledged to continue to extend his support to the government's Made in Ghana Campaign.
He however urged government to ensure a level playing field for all the players in the steel industry.
