Newark-based world leader in hearing accessibility systems Ampetronic wins Queen’s Award for Enterprise
A Newark-based business has been honoured with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
The prestigious Queen’s Award has been given to Ampetronic — a world leader in systems for hearing accessibility — to recognise strong and sustained growth in international trade.
Employing 50 people, Ampetronic has been trading since 1987 and its mission is to bring intelligible sound back into the lives of people with hearing loss by improving the quality of installed hearing access equipment.
The company, on Trentside Business Village, Farndon Road, produces a wide range of electronic products for hearing accessibility — primarily Audio Induction Loop Systems that can deliver sound direct to hearing aid users.
On winning the award Julian Pieters, managing director of Ampetronic, said: “I am delighted Ampetronic has been recognised again with this important award. Particularly with the challenges of the last couple of years, we are proud to have sustained long-term strong growth in our export markets.
"It is particularly rewarding to be recognised for bringing much needed accessibility solutions to more and more people every year. Our success is testament to the passionate and dedicated team here at Ampetronic, and to our many partners who work so hard to represent us around the world.”
Ampetronic designs, manufactures, and promotes assistive listening solutions around the world. For more information, go to www.ampetronic.com or follow @ampetronic on Twitter.
