The awards are organised by UK trade and Investment (the government organisation that supports companies trading internationally) and the Export Times.
MetalFX has been honoured with three nominations:
1) The Corporate Exporter of the Year Award
2) The Best New Exporter Award
3) The Innovation in Export Award
"Extraordinary"
The International Business Awards are organised annually by UK Trade and Investment (the government organisation that supports companies trading internationally) and Export Times.
Grant Collier, Marketing and Events Manager at Highbury Business (who oversee the awards), commented:
"The MetalFX entry is indisputable proof that a good product goes a long way. The MFX product is universal, adding value to any printer's offering worldwide. It overturns conventions and is taking on the global market leaders in a big way.
"The company's unique combination of strategic thinking and marketing savvy has led to worldwide success in the space of only two years, all through clever strategic partnerships and distribution deals.
"To be nominated in three categories is extraordinary. It is a credit to MetalFX and its staff to have achieved this status as the quality and volume of award entries this year far exceeded expectation."
These award nominations follow hot on the heels of MetalFX's triumphant win of the Marketing Excellence title at this year's BPIF Awards, where their entry was deemed so impressive that the judges felt it unnecessary to shortlist any other company.
MetalFX currently has distribution in 78 countries.
Graph Expo
Key MetalFX staff were on hand at Graph Expo (the international graphic arts show held in Chicago, USA) when they heard the news. MetalFX featured heavily on the Eckart and Huber Group stands. MetalFX MD Andrew Ainge commented from the show:
"It was very fitting that when we heard about our International Business Award nominations we were on the other side of the world presenting the technology. It is terrific to have our efforts recognised at such an event, and a great stamp of quality on the technology."
Heidelberg also introduced MetalFX to its customers at Graph Expo. The leading press manufacturing printed super-size MetalFX Speedo posters live at the show. These posters were originally printed to wide acclaim by UK Licensed Printer Loudwater. Japanese press manufacturer Ryobi also exhibited their MetalFX work.

The International Business Award winners are announced on the 8 November at The Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.
