Exeter-based company, AnTech, is presented with the Queen’s Award for Enterprise

Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Devon, David Fursdon has officially awarded AnTech, an Exeter-based oilfield innovation company, with the highest accolade a business can receive – The Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade. 

A world leading designer and manufacturer of products for the upstream oil and gas industry, AnTech, which has its headquarters in Exeter and a presence in The USA and Saudi Arabia, is one of just 205 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise, and is in fact the only company in Exeter to receive one. 

The Lord Lieutenant of Devon visited the company at its premises in Exeter Business Park where he received a guided tour from Toni Miszewski, Managing Director of AnTech. He then presented the company with a glass trophy and Grant of Appointment scroll, allowing AnTech to fly the authorised flag, to officially celebrate AnTech’s achievement.

AnTech gained the award in recognition for its excellence in International Trade – this is given to businesses able to demonstrate that their organisation has achieved outstanding growth overseas, which AnTech achieved through its expanding global operations.  

Toni Miszewski, Managing Director for AnTech, comments: “We learnt of our success in May but have had to wait until now to be formally presented with the award. Achieving a Queen's Award is validation of the decisions made and hard work of the AnTech team. It takes time to create success and it is an honour to be recognised in this way.” 

Employing almost 50 staff, AnTech was founded in 1992 and the company designs, manufactures and tests all of its products in-house, spanning all areas of mechanical, electrical and software design engineering. Rated to the highest industry standards, AnTech have seen their products used worldwide by the top three industry service providers. 

Now in its 55th year, the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise remain the most prestigious business awards in the country, with businesses able to use the esteemed Queen’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.

Applications for the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise 2022 opened on the 1st May 2021. For more information, visit https://www.gov.uk/queens-awards-for-enterprise.
