Industrial Coatings Africa honored at the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) Ghana 35th Anniversary and Thanksgiving Dinner 2024

On November 16, 2024, Industrial Coatings Africa (Source-Link) had the distinct privilege of celebrating with the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) Ghana on its 35th Anniversary Thanksgiving Dinner and Awards Night, held at the prestigious Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra. The event was a memorable celebration of over three decades of trade advocacy and the enduring commercial ties between the United States and Ghana.

The evening’s highlight was a stirring address by the U.S. Ambassador to Ghana, Virginia E. Palmer and H.E. John Agyekum Kufuor, former President of Ghana who reflected on the pivotal role the AMCHAM has played in promoting a mutually beneficial commercial relationship between Ghana and the United States. As a prominent figure of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Ghana, Ambassador Palmer’s address underscored the extraordinary success AMCHAM Ghana has achieved over the past 35 years while elaborating on the robust and dynamic relationship fostered between Ghana and the United States.

For Industrial Coatings Africa, the most exciting moment of the evening was our company’s recognition for its contributions to the AMCHAM and receiving a “Certificate of Appreciation”. The award was presented to our CEO, Ing. Daniel Allotey, MIET, IAMSP, alongside our Managing Director, Emma Memuna Mbawuni Allotey, and our dedicated team Lord Anthony Senanu, Chantelle Katei, David Adra, Stephen Nkrumah, Felix Sarpong, Derreck Sam, and Akwasi Sarpong. It was a great honour to be acknowledged for our contribution to the American Chamber of Commerce “AMCHAM” Ghana and our continued efforts to be a key player in championing the growth of the industrial sector in Ghana and across Africa.

As a company deeply committed to Ghana’s industrial development, Industrial Coatings Africa is proud to be part of such a landmark event. This recognition is not only a testament to our commitment to fostering trade and economic growth but also a reflection of our ongoing partnership with AMCHAM Ghana in advancing the shared business interests of the U.S. and Ghana.
