We’ve made the shortlist: The Manufacturer MX Awards 2026

Our shortlisting in the Smart Factory category at the MX Manufacturer Awards recognises the progress we've made in using data and digital technology to enhance decision-making, improve operational performance and create a more connected manufacturing environment.

Through the implementation of Redzone, a connected workforce platform, we have transformed the way information is shared and acted upon across our manufacturing facility. Real-time performance data is now accessible to teams throughout the factory, bringing together production, maintenance and quality functions and enabling faster, more informed decision-making.

By digitising processes and providing greater visibility of operational performance, we have empowered colleagues to identify opportunities, address issues proactively and drive continuous improvement. The result is a more agile, responsive manufacturing operation that is helping us improve efficiency, strengthen quality and support long-term growth.

We are also delighted to share that our Process Improvement Analyst, Michael White, has been shortlisted in the Technology Champion category, which recognises individuals who are driving meaningful digital transformation within their organisations.

Michael has been instrumental in helping Amtico embrace new technologies and embed digital ways of working across our manufacturing operation. By championing initiatives that improve access to data, streamline processes and support more informed decision-making, he has helped teams work more efficiently and collaboratively.

His shortlisting is a testament to the role he has played in accelerating our digital transformation journey and delivering tangible improvements in productivity, performance and continuous improvement across the business.

Congratulations to all the finalists – we’re looking forward to the awards ceremony at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool this November.
