Proto Labs wins Queen's Award for second time!

Proto Labs has established itself as one of the world's fastest sources for custom CNC machined and injection moulded parts, delivered in as little as one business day. Since inception, the company has invested unceasingly in both technology and people, building a world-class, innovative service to designers and engineers across Europe. As a result, Proto Labs has enjoyed an impressive rate of year-on-year expansion. Proto Labs is part of the globally successful Proto Labs Inc, based in Minnesota, USA. However, it is local expertise and engineering know-how that have made Proto Labs a success in Europe. "Whilst our European manufacturing operation is based solely in the UK," says managing director John Tumelty, "we have sales offices in the UK, Germany, France and Italy, which have helped us build successful working relationships with some of the biggest, most prestigious manufacturing companies across Europe, within the automotive, aerospace, medical and domestic appliances sectors, amongst others. "Everyone at Proto Labs can be proud of the part they play in our success. It is their hard work that has made Proto Labs a manufacturing force capable of competing in the European market, making this second Queen's Award possible."
