Reflector PNG Plus, a modest company started by Washington "Tony" Taureka, has emerged as a ray of hope and resiliency in a world that is frequently controlled by corporate giants. Located in the center of Central Province, this company was founded in 2015 and specializes in critical road safety products such retro reflective materials for signs and reflectors, also called cat's eyes, which are installed in the middle of the road. The company credo of Tony, a talented craftsman from Lalaura in the Abau district, was to combine local expertise with international technology in order to create a successful enterprise. But the journey was not without its difficulties, as is the case with many small businesses. Year after year, Reflector PNG Plus fought to gain ground in an industry often overshadowed by larger corporate entities that secured most contracts. "In the beginning, the doors were shutting on us.” “But I knew deep down that if we stayed true to our vision and worked hard, our moment would come." His persistence finally paid off when the National Capital District (NCD) awarded him a significant contract this year to install reflectors on a critical stretch from the Kumul Flyover beginning near Jackson’s airport to the roundabout near the Moresby Theatre of Arts and then to City Hall in Port Moresby. The importance of this work cannot be overstated; the reflectors and LED markers significantly enhance visibility on the roads, which is critical for the safety of motorists, particularly in low-light conditions. “For me, this is more than a job—it's about saving lives." "With the increasing number of vehicles in Port Moresby, we must do everything we can to ensure safety on our roads during the day and night.” Reflector PNG Plus is not just about business; it symbolizes the power of hope, resilience, and community. Tony expressed heartfelt gratitude to key figures such as NCD Governor Powes Parkop and City Manager Ravu Frank, recognizing their faith in his vision. For aspiring entrepreneurs, Tony Taureka’s story is a powerful lesson in perseverance. It shows that success is not merely a result of luck but rather an unwavering commitment to one’s dreams. "Stay determined, keep learning, and never lose hope," he advises fellow small business owners. "Change may not come overnight, but with patience and persistence, your vision can illuminate the path forward." Reflector PNG Plus serves not only as a model of entrepreneurial spirit but also as a reminder of the importance of community-focused innovation in ensuring safer roads for all Papua New Guineans.
