Algiers, Algeria | May 30th, 2025 — In a remarkable affirmation of its leadership and unwavering dedication to quality management, the National Well Drilling Company—a fully owned subsidiary of the Sonatrach Group—has been honored with the distinguished Quality Choice Prize 2025 by the European Association for Quality Research, headquartered in Switzerland.

This prestigious accolade, awarded for the second year running, underscores the company’s exceptional achievements in embedding ethical values, continuous improvement, and service excellence at the heart of its operations. The prize recognizes institutions that exemplify outstanding quality leadership and strategic initiatives designed to optimize service efficiency through robust quality-based practices.

The award was presented to the company’s President and CEO, Abdelghafour Ghellab, during a formal ceremony held last night at the Lundberg Palace in Stockholm, Sweden. The event was attended by senior executives of the company and the Algerian Ambassador to Sweden, symbolizing Algeria’s growing footprint in global quality and business excellence arenas.

Earlier in the day, the award ceremony was preceded by a high-profile conference bringing together diplomats, industry leaders, international quality experts, and academicians. In his keynote speech, Mr. Ghellab highlighted the company’s ongoing capacity to embrace cutting-edge technological advancements, emphasizing a strategic focus on continuous process improvement, digital transformation, and human capital development, while maintaining rigorous standards of quality and environmental stewardship.

This international recognition confirms the National Well Drilling Company’s pivotal role as a trailblazer within the Sonatrach Group’s broader strategy, demonstrating its ability to innovate, distinguish itself, and consistently fulfill commitments to partners and clients in line with global best practices and international standards.

This award builds on the momentum from last year, when the company received the “Best Quality Management Leadership” prize from the same European organization, reinforcing its status as a paragon of excellence in Algeria’s industrial sector.
