The 2006 Competitiveness Improvement Award has been awarded in recognition of the tremendous efforts that Graphic Plc has made in developing a culture of continuous improvement, and robust strategy to maintain their long-standing leading position as one of the most successful manufacturer of PCB's in Europe.
