Northern Ireland-based InspecVision, a leading manufacturer of precision 2D and 3D measurement systems, is among a select group of UK businesses to have received both a Queen's Award for Enterprise in International Trade (2021) and a King's Award for Enterprise in International Trade (2025).
These prestigious awards recognise the company's sustained success in exporting advanced manufacturing technology to customers around the world. Today, more than 90% of InspecVision's products are exported, with systems installed in over 40 countries worldwide.
Strong and sustained international growth
InspecVision’s international growth has been both significant and consistent. The 2021 Queen's Award recognised overseas sales growth of 129% over three years. This momentum has continued, with the 2025 King's Award following further expansion—overseas sales increased by 126%, with exports accounting for 96% of total sales.
Recognition from leadership
Dr Jan Antonis, Founder and Managing Director of InspecVision, reflected on the company’s achievements:
"I am very proud that InspecVision has achieved the prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise. This celebrates the dedication and commitment of our team and the immense contribution and support of our distribution partners which has enabled us to deliver world-class quality control solutions to manufacturers across the globe."
Reflecting on the 2025 King's Award, Dr Antonis commented:
"It's a tremendous honour to be awarded the King's Award for Enterprise for International Trade. Overseas growth has been at the heart of our organisation since we began, and this award recognises the dedication and resilience of our team and our worldwide distribution partners."
The wider impact of the Awards
Beyond recognition, the Awards have had a lasting impact on the business. Olivia McNeill, Sales & Marketing Manager at InspecVision, explains:
“The impact of both awards has extended far beyond the initial recognition. They have strengthened InspecVision's credibility and reputation among international customers and partners, building stronger trust and confidence in the company's ability to deliver innovative measurement solutions and support on a global scale. The awards have also helped attract high-calibre employees, enhancing InspecVision's ability to recruit and retain talented people who want to be part of an internationally recognised success story.
The recognition has created unique opportunities for the company, including invitations to royal receptions at Windsor Castle and to a business reception at 10 Downing Street to mark the UK-EU Summit. Closer to home, the awards have significantly raised InspecVision's profile within the Northern Ireland business community, increasing awareness of the company's achievements and reinforcing its position as one of the region's leading exporters. Above all, the awards have been a source of immense pride for employees, customers and distribution partners, recognising the collective effort that has enabled InspecVision to compete successfully on the global stage.”
