Manufacturers from across the Midlands gathered to celebrate the very best of industry achievement from the last 12 months.
The Made in the Midlands awards, now in its sixth year, gave recognition for investment, innovation, growth, export and diversity across the sector. Amongst this year’s winners was Birmingham based Thermotec Plastics.
Thermotec picked up the Manufacturing Achievement award for their innovative approach to new business, resulting in further work from an existing customer and creating a number of new market opportunities.
