Klinger UK Scoops International Trade Award

Klinger UK has won a major award for international trade in the energy sector.

The company, one of the world’s leading developers, manufacturers and distributors of quality sealing products for the global oil and gas industry, aerospace and defence markets, picked up the Energy Industry Award in the inaugural Yorkshire International Trade Awards.

Leading manufacturers and professionals gathered at the Royal Armouries in Leeds for the prestigious event, organised by regional business magazine, Yorkshire Business Insider, in partnership with UK Trade & Investment, Leeds City Region and Sheffield City Region Local Enterprise Partnerships.

Klinger UK Managing Director, Alan Bates, comments: “We’re absolutely delighted to receive this award, which is testimony to our fantastic team, who have helped put Klinger on the map in more than 40 countries across the world.

“International trade is fundamental to Klinger’s growth in the oil and gas industry, as well as in new sectors, such as aerospace and pharmaceuticals. We’re very proud of the fact that of the main five gasket manufacturers in the UK, we are the only company that still believes in manufacturing its products in the UK.  The quality control that gives us, coupled with a clear focus on customer service across all our international markets, is the foundation of our continued success.”
