Bishopbriggs plastics firm aim to have award all wrapped up

The Wellington Road firm is one of three finalists in the running to win ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ at an online awards ceremony.

Back for its fifth year, the Business Insider Made in Scotland Awards in partnership with the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) champions all aspects of transformational discoveries and developments made in Scotland.

Andy Leaver, ICL Tech’s head of product development, said: “We’re excited and honoured to be recognised by the ‘Made in Scotland’ awards.

“ICL Tech’s awards entry tells the story of our response to the change in our circumstances brought about by the pandemic.

"We were fortunate enough to quickly pivot our business to design and make volume quantities of essential PPE at-cost to support the NHS.

"Our team’s energy and determination to innovate and collaborate led to the creation of our TechPPE™ product range.

“A common purpose, new products and markets, and a loyal customer base combined to make the last year a dynamic growth period for ICL Tech.

"As we seek to scale up in key markets, our focus is on developing sustainable polymer industry solutions through customer collaborations.”

In November, ICL Tech won ‘Covid-19 outstanding response’ at the Scottish Excellence in Public Procurement GO Awards.
