AROA has been recognised for its commitment to innovation and business excellence, taking out both the Innovation Category and Supreme Business Excellence Awards at The Two Degrees Auckland Business Award, ‘Best of the Best’ event.
Announced on Friday 12 April, at a black-tie awards dinner at Auckland’s Cordis hotel, the long running event, organised by Auckland Business Chamber celebrates Auckland’s thriving and diverse business community.
AROA credits success to the dedication of its team of over 300 based in both Auckland and North America, as well its long-term strategic focus on developing relationships in the US, a key market for the company’s products.
To date, more than 6 million AROA ECM™ devices have been used in treating patients worldwide, and demand for the company’s products continues to grow steadily, with FY23 results demonstrating a 60% growth in total revenue, and overall growth in product revenue of 55%.
Founder and CEO Brian Ward says: “It’s a proud moment to be recognised by the Auckland business community for the innovation, developed right here in New Zealand that we’re taking to the world. At AROA, we’re on a mission to unlock regenerative healing for everybody. This award is a credit to the immense talent and dedication of our whole team, to that mission”.
Commenting on AROA’s win, Auckland Business Chamber says:” AROA’s win tonight tells a story of a business not just on the rise but poised for significant international expansion. From their humble beginnings to becoming an example of innovation and strategic foresight in challenging global markets, AROA embodies the ideal New Zealand legacy of pushing boundaries and achieving excellence.”
