Moses Kwesi Baiden Jnr., Founder and CEO of Intelligent Card Production Systems (ICPS), a subsidiary of Margins ID Group has been awarded as one of the Top Iconic Manufacturing Personalities of the Decade by the Entrepreneur Foundation of Ghana.
The presentation ceremony, which took place at the Margins ID Group Head Office, celebrated Mr Baiden’s outstanding achievements and remarkable efforts in the manufacturing sector.
In his acceptance speech, Mr Baiden expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the outstanding team at ICPS and the board of directors.
“Receiving this award is not just a personal achievement, but a recognition of the hardwork put in by the great people at ICPS and Margins ID Group. I thank the board for their leadership,” he added.
He also acknowledged his over 25-year partnership with Peter Blom, the progressive chairman of ICPS, who has been a pivotal figure in the challenging journey of establishing a high-tech card manufacturing facility in Ghana.
He emphasized the importance of fostering local manufacturing and innovation to strengthen Ghana’s economy.
He also expressed his disappointment at the lack of support for Ghanaian companies like ICPS, which can produce high-quality products and services.
“From 2007 to 2023, ICPS has been producing different variations of the Ghana Card, the first secure National ID Card to be produced on African soil. It saddens me that people have been calling for cards to be imported from other countries when we have the best card and document manufacturing facility in the world, right here in Ghana,” he bemoaned.
Ato Gaise, CEO of the Entrepreneur Foundation of Ghana, commended Moses Baiden for his remarkable journey from humble beginnings to becoming a key figure in the manufacturing of the Ghana card.
