SWISSE Wellness has won The Business Excellence Award for Consumer Services at the 25th Annual Austcham Westpac Australia-China Business Awards.
The awards recognise Australian and Chinese businesses in Greater China across a broad spectrum, who have demonstrated strong commitment and leadership to Australia-China business.
Swisse Wellness md Oliver Horn said, the award "provides great recognition of the commitment and effort of our teams in Australia, China and elsewhere to building a strong Australia-China business.
"After operating in Australia for almost 50 years, Swisse officially launched in China in Mar 2016 and rapidly grew to become the number one vitamins brand on major Chinese ecommerce hub, TMall, and was the biggest selling brand on Alibaba on China's biggest sale day, 11:11, last year."
Horn highlighted the critical importance of the Chinese market saying "the preventative health focus in the Healthy China 2030 policy presents us with a tremendous opportunity".
