Ear implant manufacturer Cochlear has been named Australia's Exporter of the year.
The Australian based company which controls 70 per cent of the global ear implant market was awarded the prestigious title at the Australian Export Awards in Brisbane on Thursday night.
Cochlear employs more than 1,700 people worldwide and exports to more than 90 countries.
Other award recipients included Macquarie Bank Limited, Sydney BridgeClimb, and games manufacturer Imagination Entertainment.
Miner Rio Tinto and Project Manager Ausenco were also inducted into the award's Hall of Fame.
Austrade CEO Peter O'Byrne said the award winners were examples of the innovative enterprises which were driving Australia's record export performance.
"While Australia's traditional strengths in resources and agriculture remain major contributors to our export performance, the broad range of companies represented at these awards reflect the increasing diversity of Australia's export businesses," he said.
