Nearly three dozen companies are vying for this year’s New Brunswick Export Awards.

The annual event highlights companies that have achieved recent or ongoing success.

Awards will be presented in seven different categories, including:

• Exporter of the Year Award – over $5 million in export sales
• Exporter of the Year Award – under $5 million in export sales
• Global Diversification Award
• Innovative Exporter of the Year Award
• Emerging Exporter of the Year Award
• Impact Award
• Sustainable Exporter of the Year Award

“New Brunswick’s export performance internationally is something to celebrate, and that is thanks to our strong, globally competitive exporters,” Labour Minister Greg Turner said in a news release.

“The New Brunswick Export Awards reception and gala provides us with the opportunity to recognize our province’s top exporters, their wide range of products and services, and the positive impact they have on our economy.”

Opportunities NB will announce the winners during its 56th annual gala in Moncton on May 30.
