The Rotork entry was led by Research and Development Director Graham Ogden, who observed: "It is a measure of our achievement that, as we approach our fiftieth birthday, we can still innovate at the same level as a successful young high-tech business working at the edge of technology".
The aim of the awards is to recognise and celebrate the critical role played by both engineering and product design teams.
The Rotork entry was centred on the development of their IQT quarter-turn intelligent actuator range and was subject to detailed questionnaires and factory visits by an expert panel of judges.
Graham received the award for Rotork at a reception held in the London Hilton Hotel, where he commented: "This is a tremendous achievement and I would like to thank everyone for making Rotork the innovative company it is today".
