News: EMSc (UK) Ltd wins innovation award
Powerstar, the voltage optimisation system designed and manufactured in Rotherham has been named as the winner of the Technology Innovation of the Year Award during the regional PwC Private Business Awards in Leeds last month.
The award, which recognises world-leading technology, was presented to EMSc (UK) Ltd and the Templeborough company will now be entered into the national PwC Private Business Awards 2012, scheduled to take place in September in London.
Powerstar is the only voltage optimisation system wholly designed and manufactured in the UK and works by reducing the the voltage supplied by the National Grid. Using a patented design, the system can actively reduce electrical energy consumption by an average of 12-15% of consumed electricity.
Dr Alex Mardapittas, managing director of EMSc (UK) Ltd and inventor of Powerstar, said: "We are delighted to have won this award, which recognises our company's forward thinking approach and innovative energy saving solutions. We strive to constantly improve our range of solutions and this is fantastic recognition for our team."
The company also recently succeeded in invalidating an EU trademark registration for the term "VPO – Voltage Power Optimisation."
In upholding the request for invalidity, the EU trademark registry confirmed that the term is devoid of any distinctive character and that it is descriptive of the goods in relation to which registration was sought.
Commenting on the ruling Dr Mardapittas, said: "We are very happy with the ruling that the term "VPO – voltage power optimisation" cannot be registered. It is great news for all manufacturers of voltage optimisation products, as it will not only allow them to compete on a level playing field, but more importantly it will allow the market to flourish as the technology of voltage optimisation will become more transparent."
The company is celebrating 10 years of continued success, having announced at the end of 2011, another successful 12 months trading, with turnover increasing by 50%, to £12.4m.
