Powder
characterisation specialist Freeman Technology is delighted to announce that
the company is to receive the 2012 Queen's Award for Enterprise in the category
International Trade. Recognised around the world, the Queen's Awards for
Enterprise are Britain's most coveted commercial prizes and this appreciation
of Freeman Technology's rapidly growing international presence follows the
company's 2007 Queen's Award in the category of Innovation.
"Freeman
Technology's first Queen's Award in 2007 celebrated our development of the FT4
Powder Rheometer and the unique contribution it makes to understanding
powders - and to supporting manufacturing industry in its drive to improve
efficiency and productivity," said Managing Director, Tim Freeman. "Five years
on, not only do we have a proven instrument, we have unparalleled real-world
experience, expertise and applications knowledge that supports the use of the
system. It is this combination that is proving so powerful to companies across
the globe, and which has driven our international business growth, resulting in
a doubling of our export sales in just three years. "
The FT4
Powder Rheometer delivers information that helps powder processing industries
to maximise process and product understanding, and accelerate R&D,
formulation and commercialisation, as well as supporting process optimisation.
FT4 systems are installed in many different sectors, including the chemical,
pharmaceutical, toners, foods, powder coatings, metals, ceramics, cosmetics and
other industries.
Paying
tribute to colleagues around the world, Tim Freeman confirmed that 2012 is
proving to be a highly significant year for Freeman Technology, with a great
deal of planning and development coming to fruition.
"Winning
this Queen's Award in the International Trade category really affirms Freeman
Technology's establishment in world markets and reflects the commitment and
hard work of all our teams and partners" he said. "Ever since the launch of the
FT4 Powder Rheometer more than 8 years ago, strong sales have been supported
directly in Europe and the United States, and through distribution partners in
Japan. Now with our experience and expertise across many different
applications, we are successfully entering many new markets where the FT4 is
helping to solve the same problems that challenge powder processors the world
over."
In response
to increasing demand for the FT4, Freeman Technology has strengthened sales and
applications support in a number of territories. In the past 12 months the
company has established a new direct operation in North America and extended
its distribution partnerships to include China, India, Japan, Malaysia,
Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand, all underpinned by a move last year to larger
premises in the UK, extending the scope for manufacturing and support.
"The key to
our success and the success of our customers is that we now have many years of
research to draw upon, to help our customers find their way through the
complexity of powder processing. This gives us a deep understanding of powder
characterisation and how to interpret and apply the data to the many different
challenges that powder processors face. We have some exciting times ahead as we
continue to grow and learn about new and existing powders and processes."
