Orion Health named Supreme Winner at AMCHAM Success and Innovation Awards 2014
Auckland, 11 August 2014 – Global health software company, Orion Health, last night celebrated their second crowning as
Supreme Winner of the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) Success and Innovation Awards 2014.
At a black tie event held at the Pullman hotel in Auckland, over 600 invitees converged to celebrate the ongoing export
success and highlight innovation in the highly competitive USA market. The spread of finalists represented a huge number
of different industries and covered a diverse range of products and services from within each.
Orion Health scooped the big export award on the night, being named Exporter of the Year over $5M in a very tough
category that included Fisher and Paykel Healthcare, Compac Sorting Equipment, Scott Technology and Douglas
Pharmaceuticals.
Accepting the award on behalf of Orion Health, Executive Vice President Wayne Oxenham, praised all the hard work that
staff had poured into the company over the last 12 months, to help drive the significant growth that Orion Health is
experiencing.
“This has been a fantastic year of growth that has stretched all parts of our company, and it has been great to see how
many people have gone the extra mile and demonstrated their unwavering commitment to our company objectives.” – Wayne
Oxenham, EVP.
This marks the second occasion that Orion Health has been chosen as the Supreme Winner at the AMCHAM Awards, having won
the same award in 2005. Remarkably, the company has grown its revenues resulting from the USA export market to $88
million, 16 times what it experienced back then.
“Orion Health has always considered itself a global company and valued successful exports highly. It is for this reason
that we have entered many global markets earlier than expected, or possibly recommended.
However, our strategy is now starting to pay off and we are realizing the significant benefits of having built solid
relationships within the USA over the last 15 years.” – CEO, Ian McCrae
