Endoline Automation has been named Gold Winner in the Exporter of the Year category at the
Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce SME Bedfordshire Business Awards 2026 and has subsequently secured a place in the
SME National Business Awards finals later this year.
The achievement recognises the Bedfordshire-based manufacturer's continued international growth, engineering innovation and commitment to supporting customers worldwide.
Exporting now represents a significant proportion of Endoline's business, with its end-of-line packaging automation systems installed in more than 30 countries through a combination of direct customer relationships, distributor partnerships and OEM collaborations.
Founded in 1981, Endoline has grown from a small packaging machinery manufacturer into a global supplier of advanced end-of-line automation systems. Today, the company designs, manufactures and installs bespoke packaging solutions for manufacturers across the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and consumer goods sectors.
Andrew Yates, managing director of Endoline Automation, said: "We are delighted to have been named Gold Winner in the Exporter of the Year category and to have secured a place in the national finals. Exporting has been a key part of Endoline's growth for many years, and this recognition reflects the dedication of our employees, distributors, partners and customers around the world. "As a family-run business, we are proud to be designing and manufacturing British-built automation systems that are helping manufacturers across the globe improve efficiency, productivity and sustainability."
The award follows another successful year for Endoline's export division, which continues to expand its international distributor network, develop innovative packaging technologies and support customers in more than 30 countries worldwide.
Winners of the SME National Business Awards will be announced later this year.
