City Technology wins ‘Factory of the Year’ awards

LONDON, October 1, 2014

Honeywell’s City Technology, a leading manufacturer of gas sensors, has won three awards in the 2014 Best Factory Awards run by Cranfield School of Management in association with Works Management magazine.

The hat trick included ‘Best Electronics and Electrical Plant’, the ‘Innovation Award’ and the ‘Toyota Material Handling Factory of the Year’ prize, said a statement.
 
The awards recognised UK manufacturers who led the way in continuous improvement and deliver enhanced performance for their customers.

City’s UK manufacturing facility in Portsmouth beat a host of well known names to the Factory of the Year Award, including 3M, Bosch Thermotechnology, Brita Water Filter Systems and Coca-Cola Enterprises.

City was also nominated for a fourth award – People and Skills.
 
Rob Love, site leader in Portsmouth, said that innovation and continuous improvement is a cumulative process built on solid foundations of world class quality.

“Our gas sensors use complex electrochemistry processes that provide gas detector manufacturers with the highest levels of reliability in some of the most challenging operating environments. It is a huge responsibility to know that an individual’s life depends on our sensors. They simply have to be manufactured to the highest quality,” he said.

Sean Clay, general manager, Honeywell, said: “The sustained improvement in all aspects of City’s performance, from developing innovative new products through to world class manufacturing techniques that significantly improve quality, has enabled us to cement much closer relationships with our customers.

“To win three awards in such a prestigious awards programme is a fantastic achievement. It recognises our world class position. I congratulate everyone at our Portsmouth site for their efforts in achieving such outstanding manufacturing performance.” - TradeArabia News Service
