On the birthday of Queen Elizabeth, Heraeus Noblelight received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category for its development of an automated manufacturing process for flash lamps. The company will be formally presented with the award by the Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire later this year.

“We feel very honored to receive this award,” said Debbie Playle, managing director. “It acknowledges the hard work and expertise of a company which has been at the forefront of lamp technology since it was founded in Cambridge in 1978. The manufacturing process itself took around five years to develop. Utilizing our global leadership position has allowed the company to re-invest and transition from being simply a component supplier to a solutions provider.”
