The Business Masters Award for International Trade is an acknowledgement of the significant growth in the overseas sales AESSEAL has achieved, its ability to identify and capitalise on growth markets, investment in product development for overseas countries and the international expansion of its award-winning customer service provision.

The MiS Manufacturing Apprenticeship/Training Award reflects the company’s longstanding commitment to tackling the regional skills shortage, working in collaboration with the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Resource Centre and South Yorkshire colleges to provide high quality engineering, manufacturing and higher education apprenticeships.

Since 2012 AESSEAL has trained 100 apprentices. It currently has 20 apprentices, whose learning is supported by access to state-of-the-art machinery such as a £1 million 11 axis Nakamura Tome Super NTX machining centre, the latest of which was recently installed at the AESSEAL Global Technology Centre and Special Product Division in Rotherham.
