Scanstrut Ltd, designer and manufacturer of installation solutions for marine electronics, is pleased to announce its selection as a winner of the 2009 Queen’s Award for Enterprise.

Scanstrut joins an elite group of companies in winning The Queen’s Award which puts them amongst the most successful of UK businesses. Awarded for outstanding performance in International sales, the assessment process is extremely rigorous with only a handful of the very best UK companies succeeding. Scanstrut export sales have quadrupled in the last 3 years.

The Queen’s Award is recognised internationally and respected as the ultimate award for UK businesses. It is approved by the UK Prime Minister and awarded by Her Majesty The Queen and has unquestioned integrity and international prestige.

Started in 1985, Scanstrut remains the international market leader in the design and manufacture of installation solutions for marine electronics. Its innovative product range includes mounting options for radar, satellite TV, GPS and VHF for yachts, powerboats and commercial vessels. A comprehensive product range is available through a network of over 75 international distributors. A custom design and build service is also offered for boat builders and shipyards.

Tom Reed, Managing Director, is delighted that Scanstrut has been honoured with this award: “The talented team at Scanstrut has worked incredibly hard to provide fantastic products and outstanding service to all our international partners. This award is the ultimate recognition of our team’s hard work to make our products a success and I’d like to formally thank them all. This award is for them.”

Scanstrut was awarded The Queen’s Award in the International Trade category. This recognises substantial growth in overseas earnings and outstanding commercial success. Tom Reed also added: “Our international distributors must also be thanked for their unending hard work and loyal support of Scanstrut products. We offer an excellent product with great service but without the input and commitment from each of our overseas partners in over 30 countries this award would not have been possible.”

To complement the success of being honoured with The Queen’s Award for Enterprise, Scanstrut has launched a brand new range of innovative mounting pods for marine electronics including radar and chart plotter screens and instruments. The Scanpod range includes fully adjustable (tilt and rotate) Deck Pods for installing radar screens on any sloping surface and stylish, slim-line Helm Pods for mounting screens at the steering wheel. Scanstrut has a continuous product development programme that will see several more products follow later in 2009, including a carbon mast pod range for race boats due in July ‘09.
