Queen's Award for International Trade

Porvair Filtration Group has been honoured with the Queen's Award for Enterprise in International Trade – the UK's highest accolade for business success.

The award was publicly conferred on Porvair Filtration Group on Tuesday 21st April 2015.

The Queen's Awards for Enterprise provide an opportunity to celebrate and encourage excellence in UK business; given only to companies or individuals who are outstanding in their field, they recognise achievements across three categories: international trade, sustainable development, and innovation.

This award had been made in recognition of Porvair's substantial growth in overseas business, achieving increased year-on-year growth in sales of exported products over the past three years. Since 2011, the company has seen its export sales rise by 140%, amounting to 69 per cent of its total sales from its UK operations.

The significant increase in export has been due to the company's success in markets such as coal gasification in Asia, Bioscience and Nuclear in the USA and general industrial process filtration in Europe.
