Foam manufacturer, Latex Foam, has grabbed yet another award as stakeholders in the local manufacturing space gathered at the 2025 edition of the Made-in-Ghana Business Summit and Awards event in Accra last Wednesday.
The company won the Ghana Foam and Mattress Business Pride Award 2025 for being the leading manufacturer of top quality polyurethane flexible foam and spring mattresses in Ghana and West Africa.
Already a Superbrand awardee, Latex Foam was celebrated also for its consistency in the manufacturing industry and deliberate policy towards quality.
The organisers acknowledged it as a sustained business that has lasted across decades, emerging with innovative products in the chain of the business, and diversifying by adding to its profile of products over the years.
It was the latest honour for the multiple award-winning Latex Foam in its inspiring years of business.
In 2022, Latex Foam was recognised for the company’s continuous improvements in innovation, and quality of its mattress and foam-products as the best for the local market that met international standards.
The Head of Public Relations of Latex Foam, Gifty E. Appiah, who received the award on behalf of the company, expressed gratitude to the event organisers for acknowledging the company’s adherence to quality standards and consistency.
She said the award was an encouragement for the company to invest in innovative ideas that would meet the needs of the consuming public and serve the society better.
“We don’t take such recognition for granted at all. In fact, it tells us that our steps are being monitored and followed. For this reason, we cannot compromise on quality and standards,” she said.
Mrs Appiah emphasised that Latex Foam would continue to invest in new ideas to compete with any foam products from anywhere in the world.
The event, organised by the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Ghana, honoured eight companies operating in the local space.
Other awardees were M&G Pharmaceuticals as Ghana Pharmaceutical Business Pride Award 2025 recipient; B5 Plus Group as Ghana Iron and Steel Business Pride Award 2025 recipient; Jay Kay Industries and Investments Limited as Ghana Printing and Paper Packaging Business Pride Award 2025 recipient, and De-United Food Industries Ghana Ltd as Ghana
Food Processing Business Pride Award 2025 recipient.
The rest were JRA Bone to Bone Balm of JRA Cosmetics Ltd as the Indigenous Herbal Ointment Business Pride Awards 2025 recipient; JRA Lion Plus Antiseptic also of of JRA Cosmetics
Ltd as the Indigenous Antiseptic Business Pride 2025 recipient, and Sana Nasal Drops of Kofikrom Pharmacy Limited as the Ghana Pharmaceutical Product of the Year 2025 recipient.
The awards recognise and encourage the contributions of organisations to quality, excellence, and continuous improvements in products to meet customer satisfaction and promote made-in-Ghana products to the wider Ghanaian public.
Last Wednesday’s event marked the 12th edition of the Made-in-Ghana Awards and the third edition of the Made-in-Ghana Business Summit, which became an addition to the awards event.
In his welcome speech, the Chairman of the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Ghana, Kwesi Amoafo-Yeboah, “the Buy Ghana Agenda must evolve — from a campaign to a culture, from rhetoric to regulation, from a wish to a working system where local producers thrive because policies and practices support them”.
“Our consumption must lead us to our economic sovereignty. We must manufacture for growth—not just for local consumption, but to fuel exports, reduce imports, and establish Ghana as a key supplier for the region and beyond,” Mr Amoafo-Yeboah added.
