News: Innovative Rotherham business recognised
Rotherham-based EMSc UK Ltd has been recognised as one of the region's brightest business innovators at the Yorkshire Forward Innovator/10 Awards.
The Innovator/10 awards celebrate innovation and collaboration among businesses in Yorkshire and Humber along with associates Yorkshire Innovation and Business Link Yorkshire, both of whom were represented on the judging panel.
EMSc (UK) Ltd won the Innovation in Action Award thanks to the development of a voltage optimisation unit that works to significantly reduce energy consumption.
Their PowerStar system works by reducing the voltage supplied by the National Grid.
EMS also help businesses identify and improve their energy-consuming processes from conducting energy surveys, supporting Climate Change Levy rebate applications to obtaining grants.
Dr Alex Mardapittas, Managing Director EMSc (UK) Ltd and creator of Powerstar, said: "We are extremely happy to have won this award, as of course we are to win any accolade in praise of our product. But we are particularly pleased with this award as it recognises and champions innovation in our region.
"We are a company with a firm belief in innovation and in UK manufacturing – the Powerstar is the only voltage optimisation unit designed and manufactured in the UK and we are extremely proud of that fact.
"The prestige that surrounds our winning this award will help us to reach more people and generate further interest in Powerstar. This should hopefully allow for us to grow and expand further as a company – particularly in product development and the furthering of innovative ideas – which is our primary concern. This in turn will allow for future job creation within our region and beyond."
Jim Farmery, Assistant Director of Business at Yorkshire Forward, said: "Innovation is the lifeblood of industry, and through these awards we hope to encourage businesses in the region to develop new and exciting ideas to take to the market.
"The future of business is reliant on successful innovation, and that is what we hope to promote through Innovator/10."
