GB Innomech secures Queen’s Award for export growth

We are pleased to announce that GB Innomech has received The Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2009 in the international trade category in recognition of soaring export sales.

76% of our total sales were overseas, an increase of 69% over 2006, at a time when UK manufacturing is declining at its fastest rate since records began over 40 years ago.

In addition to designing and supplying bespoke automation systems, we also provide a full manufacturing service including: full installation, on-site training, testing and after-sales support. 58% of last year’s installations were in the USA; Japan is also a major market; and we are starting to supply into India, China and Taiwan.

Managing Director David Beale said:

"Innomech is a shining example that UK manufacturing and international trade is not as gloomy as many people think. We offer a complete end to end service for all our clients but have also invested heavily in the whole area of validation including GAMP5 and ASTM 2500 which is essential for the pharmaceutical industry."

"In 2004 when we moved into our new facilities at The Innovation Centre, we won three major awards in recognition of the environmentally-friendly design of the building and this latest award makes a very worthy addition to the collection."

We are also delighted to have received a letter from Lord Davies of Abersoch

The Queen’s Award for Enterprise is the highest award that can be given to any UK business. The judging panel recognised Innomech’s increasing contribution to UK exports and also looked at its wider role within the local community including its environmental impact and the quality of relationships with suppliers, partners, employees and customers.
