Aerosol & Cosmetics Works (ACW), a leading South African contract manufacturer of aerosols and personal care products, has been awarded the prestigious Woolworths Supplier of the Year – Beauty 2026 accolade.
The award, presented by Woolworths, recognises ACW’s commitment to manufacturing excellence, product quality and reliable partnership across its beauty and personal care supply chain. It honours every layer of the company’s operation – from formulation development and batch mixing to filling, quality testing, packaging and delivery.
A team effort
“This award belongs to every single person on our team,” said the company in a public statement on LinkedIn. “From our developers and batch mixers to our fillers, label inspectors, packers and delivery teams – every role matters. This recognition is a testament to the perseverance and ‘can-do’ spirit that defines our people.”
A manufacturer and trusted partner
ACW operates a 6 000m², climate-controlled, ISO 22716 certified facility in the Western Cape. It offers end-to-end services including custom formulation, aerosol filling and pressurisation, private label production and bespoke packaging design. The company manufactures for well-known South African brands and leading retailers and holds a 99.8% batch acceptance rate backed by rigorous pressure, leak and stability testing.
The Woolworths Supplier of the Year award signals more than past performance. ACW views it as a mandate to grow from a manufacturer into a trusted personal care manufacturing partner known for uncompromising quality, innovation, compliance and speed.
“We thank Woolworths, our partners and every member of the ACW family,” the company added. “Every batch, bottle, customer and improvement is significant as we pursue our next chapter.”
