XAAR has been awarded ‘Manufacturing Site of the Year’ for a third time by TechWorks (formerly the National Microelectronics Institute, UK). The award ceremony was held recently at the Greenwich Peninsula in London, celebrating this year’s key electronics innovations, people and companies from across the UK and Ireland. It has been running as an annual event since 2001. XAAR picked up the award from BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones, who commended the company’s great performance in 2017, and also reserved special praise for its outstanding example of collaboration with other member sites. The award was decided by an independent panel of expert judges, who were particularly impressed with Xaar’s systematic approach and drive to improve performance through Continuous Improvement, new product development and product cost reduction activities.
