SPTS named Company of the Year and Best Exporter by ESTnet

Plasma etch, deposition and thermal wafer processing equipment maker SPTS Technologies Ltd of Newport, Wales, UK was named both Exporter and Company of the Year at the annual ESTnet Awards. The event honors prominent businesses and individuals in the Welsh electronics and high-technology industry.

ESTnet is a network representing electronic and software technologies enterprises in Wales, created to form strong business relationships, exchange knowledge and share ideas. Edwina Hart, the Minister for Economy, Science and Transport, was at the gala dinner in the Swalec Stadium in Cardiff, together with representatives of technology firms in Wales. SPTS was also close to a third award: Matt Hill, a test engineer who started with the company as an apprentice, reached the final three in the ‘young engineer of the year’ category.

“There is a real wealth of talent in the industry in Wales and the ESTnet Awards program further raised the profile of the sector and celebrated its key achievements,” says ESTnet’s managing director Avril Lewis. SPTS “has the drive, passion and the vision to make their business a success,” she comments.

“The global microelectronics manufacturing industry is dynamic and demanding, and we have worked hard to maintain our market-leading position through constant technological innovation, while earning extraordinary customer loyalty,” says SPTS’ president & chief operating officer Kevin Crofton.
