The award recognizes Pratt & Whitney Canada's outstanding performance in Southeast Asia on three levels: competition strategy, impact on value and brand positioning.

"It is a testament to the steadfast dedication and talent of our 150 employees and an unwavering commitment to our customers in the Asia-Pacific region during the past 25 years."
