Made In Yorkshire Shortlisted 2019 award

We’ve been shortlisted for three categories at the prestigious Insider Made In Yorkshire Awards, which celebrate the region’s best manufacturers and exporters.

Sewtec received nominations for the digital engineering, export and manufacturer of the year under £25m awards. Winners will be revealed at a black-tie ceremony attended by Yorkshire business leaders at Hilton Leeds City on March 7.

Commenting on our shortlistings, Sewtec managing director, Mark Cook, said: “We’ve had an outstanding year of growth and these nominations are an excellent independent endorsement of our achievements.

“Sewtec flies the flag for Yorkshire manufacturing on a global stage. We provide bespoke automation systems for leading manufacturers worldwide and have a strong reputation for being innovative and highly competitive. We’re a thriving business bringing highly skilled jobs to the region and a success story for the Northern Powerhouse.”

More than 85 per cent of our sales are exports, and we hold a strong presence in 18 markets including USA, Germany, Russia and Poland.

In April 2018, we announced our intention to double turnover to £32m in five years, leading to the creation of an additional 80 jobs across our mechanical design, software, engineering and sales functions.
