Welcome to the Manufacturing Excellence Awards
The Manufacturing Excellence Awards programme is the premier annual award scheme for the UK manufacturing industry, supporting and recognising manufacturing success.
Run by The Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Awards attract entries from manufacturing businesses in all sectors – and because of the unique format of the Awards, every entrant is a winner. This is because every entrant receives a customised benchmark report rating their performance against best practice and highlighting areas for improvement.
Manufacturing is the unsung hero of the British economy. Following a restructuring in the sector UK manufacturing companies are a global success story based on their productivity, innovation and specialist skills. Innovation will be key to maintaining their record in a fiercely competitive global market. The winners and finalists showcase the best of Britain’s talent and I congratulate them.
