Tunis — The Tunisian American Chamber of Commerce (TACC) has recently organized its third Awards ceremony in a highly convivial atmosphere, grouping together the cream of the Tunisian -American business world.
Following a scrumptious gala dinner, the highlight of the evening was the much awaited TACC Awards ceremony which distinguishes each year the enterprises which best contributed to promote Tunisian American trade and business relations.
The TACC Exporter of the year Award went to two Tunisian companies, respectively the STIR, a Tunisian refinery company and SARTEX a company specializing in ready to wear garment.
The TACC Investor of the year Prize was awarded to the company Pioneer.
The Good Corporate Citizenship Award went to "Beverage Services Tunisia", and the TACC Special Award of the year was attributed to "TUNS-USA", for its efforts in promoting Tunisia in the US market.
In an interview to the Tunisian daily Le Quotidien, one of the two the recipients of the TACC Exporter of the year Award, Mr Rachid Zarrad of the SARTEX managing board, said that the success of the company's top of the range products in the US, is the result of the quality of the garments exported for such major US companies as Levi's, Timberland, Ralph Lauren and others.
He also said that in spite of the company's credibility and good image, he hoped that the Tunisian -American Free Exchange Zone would soon see the day, adding that this zone would give his company a freer access to the much disputed American market.
SARTEX, a 100% fully exporting company employs some 3500 technicians and engineers, and exports its products to 35 major customers throughout the world.
