Tadcaster-based Lambert Engineering (
www.lamberteng.com), which specialises in automation systems, equipment engineering and precision components, is celebrating after winning four prizes at the recent TMMX Awards, including the overall Manufacturer of the Year title.
On the same day, the company announced £9 million of new business. Sales director Matthew Cox said: “I don’t think we’ll ever have another day like it. To gain one TMMX Award is an achievement, but to walk away with three titles and the main Manufacturer of the Year award has surpassed our wildest dreams.”
The orders worth £9 million — due to be completed over the next 18 months — include a modular manufacturing platform for medical devices. The company plans to achieve a turnover of £28 million by the end of 2016, which will require another 25 staff, including four apprentices.
Managing director Warren Limbert (pictured) said: “Automation is such a popular topic at the moment, with even the emerging countries looking at how they can take labour out of the equation to improve productivity. A lot of our work is developing innovative and affordable automation solutions to help our customers and their production lines work smarter. Working with some of our key supply partners, we have developed technologies that truly differentiate our customers and help make them ‘number one’ in their respective market-places.”
