Steelite International: Global Tabletop Leader Garners Business Awards

In saying that it’s business was “booming” both domestically and internationally, the Sentinel Newspaper from Stoke-On-Trent (U.K.) named Steelite International its Business of The Year last night and also awarded Steelite its International Trade Award. Citing record sales of £60 million and pre-tax profits up 45 per cent in its latest financial year, The Sentinel selected the global tabletop leader as part of part of a program presented in association with North Staffordshire Chamber of Commerce and Stoke-on-Trent City Council, during a ceremony held last night at the King’s Hall in Stoke.

According to the newspaper, Steelite, with a 24 per cent production increase last year, now has its highest ever staffing levels. Continually innovating to stay ahead of the game, the company has launched more than 70 new products in the past two years, and opened a New York showroom to help service the U.S. market, which now accounts for more than half of total sales.

Simon Treanor, vice president of European sales, said: “I think these awards are testament to the hard work of all 800 people back at the factory and around the world. It shows the importance of continuing to invest in what you believe in, which for us is British manufacturing.”

Finance administration manager Phil Ray added: “The Made in England back stamp is so important for us around the world.”
