TRANSMILLE INNOVATION RECOGNISED BY QUEEN’S AWARD

In recognition of the company’s long-term commitment to development and innovation, precision instrument manufacturer and calibration specialist Transmille has been selected to receive the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise.

The Award, which honours companies that achieve outstanding performance in their field, has been made in part, on the basis of the work carried out by Transmille in developing a novel range of expandable calibrators. These make affordable and versatile calibration facilities readily available to laboratories and instrument service centres of all sizes.

Also taken into account in the award assessment was the company’s move to produce small portable products with wide market appeal. These include an award-winning electrical test box that make it easy for electricians to verify the performance of their own test equipment, and the first battery powered portable appliance tester to offer test currents up to 25A.

“Naturally we’re delighted to have won this award,” said Transmille Managing Director, James Bailey, “but what’s really important to us is that it’s a clear demonstration to customers old and new that we are one of the UK’s leading companies in the development and supply of calibration and test equipment. Our business was founded on innovation, innovation has driven our success, and we’re continuing to invest heavily in innovation for the future.”

Transmille was founded more than a decade ago as a UKAS accredited calibration laboratory. The company quickly moved into the development and manufacture of precision instruments, drawing on its specialised knowledge of calibration-industry requirements.

Today, Transmille’s client base extends from small calibration service centres to National Laboratories, and from industrial companies to military establishments. The company’s products are exported to every part of the world, and are the subject of strong and growing demand in international metrology markets.
