Delcam wins third Queen’s Award for Enterprise
1 min read
CADCAM software developer Delcam has been presented with its third Queen's Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category, and its sixth award in total.
The Award has been granted in recognition of Delcam's consistent growth in international sales from 2005 to 2010. The company saw its exports increase to up to £30 million annually over the period. It achieved record sales in 2010, recovering strongly after experiencing its first fall in annual sales during the 2009 recession.
The growth in sales has been matched by a rapid increase in Delcam's international customer base. Last year, the company announced its 35,000th customer: Southern Spars is a New Zealand-based manufacturer specialising in the design and construction of spars and rigging for high-performance yachts.
This award follows the company's receipt of three Queen's Awards in the Innovation category for its ArtCAM engraving and routing software, its PowerINSPECT inspection software, and its dedicated software for the design and manufacture of dental restorations.
The Queen's Awards are the UK's most coveted commercial awards, with only a small percentage of those who enter each year winning an Award. "It is a strong endorsement of the commitment and skills of our development teams in producing excellent products, and of our sales staff in promoting and selling them worldwide," says Delcam chief executive Clive Martell.
