GB Innomech (Innomech) – a company specialising in the development of advanced automation systems for the pharmaceutical, medical device and environmental sectors – has been awarded The Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2009 in the international trade category on the back of soaring international sales.
76% of the company’s total sales in 2008 were overseas, an increase of 69% over 2006, at a time when official statistics show general UK manufacturing dropping at its fastest rate since records began over 40 years ago.
Innomech specialises in automating highly complex and labour-intensive manufacturing, inspection and testing processes in production plants to improve quality, increase throughput and reduce costs. The company works with multiple technologies but has particular expertise in precision powder handling and dispensing, widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as well as many other sectors.
