PROSEAL is celebrating after bagging a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade.
The tray sealing specialist announced that it received the honour in recognition of its growth over the last six years.
Proseal designs and manufactures automatic tray sealing machines, conveyor systems, and sealing tools for the food industry and other applications. Proseal said the award follows a period in which the firm achieved “strong” sales in both its home and export markets.
The Proseal USA and Proseal Australia subsidiary businesses, along with a network of 13 global distributors, have helped the business grow. Proseal said it also enjoys strong business in mainland European countries such as the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany and Spain, and has developed new markets in Southeast Asia, China, Turkey, North Africa, South Africa and South America.
“We’re honoured and delighted to have received the Queen’s Award for International Trade – and the fact that it comes during our 20th anniversary year makes it all the sweeter,” said Proseal director Steve Malone, who together with Robert Hargreaves founded the company in 1998. “Early on we identified that expanding our presence overseas would be critical to our continued growth and the award is testament to this strategy.”
