Proto Labs Ltd., Proto Labs Inc.’s Shropshire, England location,
is the proud recipient of the 2013 Queen’s Award for Enterprise:
International Trade. This is the second time the company has been
honored with the award since opening in the United Kingdom in 2005;
the first was in 2010.
Proto Labs (NYSE: PRLB) has established itself as the world’s
fastest source for custom CNC-machined and injection-molded parts
delivered in as little as one business day. Since inception the
company has invested unceasingly in both technology and people,
building a world-class, innovative service to designers and
engineers across Europe. As a result, Proto Labs has enjoyed an
impressive rate of year-on-year expansion.
“This Queen’s Award recognizes our outstanding performance in
international trading,” says Managing Director, John Tumelty. “Our
investment strategy has over the years resulted in substantial
growth both in terms of earnings and market share in a very
competitive market. In fact, it’s precisely because of this
investment that our services are in such demand by designers and
engineers across Europe who value highly innovative processes that
reduce product development times and costs without compromising on
quality.”
Proto Labs Ltd. is part of the globally successful Proto Labs,
Inc., based in Maple Plain, Minn. However, it is local expertise
and engineering know-how that made Proto Labs Ltd. a success in
Europe. “While our European manufacturing operation is based solely
in the U.K.,” adds Tumelty, “We have sales offices in the U.K.,
Germany, France and Italy, which have helped us build successful
working relationships with some of the biggest, most prestigious
manufacturing companies across Europe, within the automotive,
aerospace, medical and domestic appliances sectors, amongst
others.”
Each category of the annual Queen’s Award has a separate judging
panel that makes a recommendation to the U.K. Prime Minister’s
Advisory Committee. This committee then makes a final
recommendation to Queen Elizabeth who decides the winners and
invites representatives to attend a reception at Buckingham
Palace.
“Everyone at Proto Labs can be proud of the part they play in
our success. It is their hard work that has made Proto Labs a
manufacturing force capable of competing in the European market,
making this second Queen’s Award possible,” says Tumelty.
