BRISBANE, QLD: Following on from last year’s (2015) Manufacturing Category win, Australian Innovative Systems (AIS) and its CEO Elena Gosse have been recognised as double finalists in the 2016 Australian Small Business Champion Awards (ASBCA) in the Manufacturing Business (100 employees or less) and Business Entrepreneur Categories. The awards acknowledge the contribution that small business plays in shaping Australia’s economic development and culture. Winners will be announced at the Westin Hotel, Sydney on Saturday, 23rd April 2016.

A proudly owned and operated company, AIS is an award winning leader in the design, production and supply of commercial and residential chlorine generators and water disinfection technology. AIS’ extensive range of chlorinators can disinfect water of almost any composition from salt water, to ground, town or even waste water. The company has exported its technology to over 55 countries.

“It is an honour to be recognised once again as finalists in these prestigious awards, Ms Gosse said.

“With just over 50 employees, small businesses like ours not only make a significant contribution to economic growth and employment but in AIS’ case are also great drivers of innovation.

“As a small business we are nimble enough to identify opportunities and bring them to market quickly. We are visionary thinkers and work closely with our distributors, suppliers and customers to constantly keep one step ahead of our competitors as well as enhancing Australia’s reputation for quality manufacturing.

“I believe the combination of innovation and determination is what has made AIS such a success. It is what continues to drive me as a CEO and entrepreneur every day.”

In supporting the awards, Federal Minister for Small Business and Assistant Treasurer, the Hon Kelly O’Dwyer MP stated that 97 per cent of Australia's businesses are small, contributing more than one in three jobs or around one third of all economic output. She praised this year’s entrants.

“It is you, and your passion, that fuel this country's vibrant small business culture. Entrepreneurs and risk- takers like you, who are prepared to act on ideas, adopt new tools and technologies, and invest your time and resources in a growing business. You are the ones who make our economy tick.”
