Aima.AwardsTM is a registered trademark of Studewood Int’l Limited, a top-notch Nigerian company based in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The idea of an award strictly dedicated to recognizing and awarding achievement by indigenous manufacturers was birthed in the last quarter of 2016 and the registered trademark formally obtained in January, 2017.
