SCF Containers continues to be recognised as a leader in innovation by being awarded the Australian
Business Award for Innovation in 2008. It was awarded for their range of Office and Accommodation
Units, which are manufactured in a container frame and perfect for onsite office or remote
accommodation needs due to their transportability and quality interior. Last year, it was awarded for
their innovative Sidedoor range of containers for the rail freight industry.
The Australian Business Awards acknowledges Australia’s industry leaders and entries were judged in
accordance with the category criteria across seven main areas: leadership, impact, adaptability, corporate
culture, customer and market focus, uniqueness and evidence of success. 54 organisations were selected
as winners from a pool of 1726 entries across 21 award categories.
‘We believe that we have a great innovative product range with our Office and Accommodation Units and
it is gratifying to be recognised by winning this award as it benchmarks our successes with those of our
competitors. This represents the culmination of 3 years’ dedicated hard work by the design and sales
teams, ensuring that the finished product fits the marketplace needs. I would like to thank them for
making the dream of containerised portable housing come to life’, Director Richard Sykes said.
‘Furthermore, to win this award twice in two years demonstrates our ability to keep designing and
presenting innovative container products to different markets, which showcases our internal culture of
leading change and thinking outside the square’
‘It is really good to see a South Australian‐based company which started with one person grow to become
a leader in its field and be recognised with an award such as this, not just once, but twice in two years. I
cannot wait to see the next innovative product SCF Containers produces’ Bernie Kelly, National Container
Manager, Northline Freight (a valued SCF Containers customer) said.
