Founded in the East Yorkshire,
UK, only 12 years ago Detectamet
products are bought and used by
food companies around the world to
help to protect their products from
contamination.
The company employs almost 35
people who design, manufacture
and distribute products that are
made using metal and X-Ray
detectable plastics. If pieces of this
plastic end up in the food they will
be identified and rejected by the
metal or X-Ray inspection systems
used by many food manufacturing
companies.
Angela Musson-Smith Detectamet’s
Managing Director explained
“When my husband and I started
our business in 2003 we could only
dream of being honoured by an
award such as this. Sean and I are
so grateful to our staff, suppliers
and local service companies who
have helped us to fulfil our hopes
and make our dreams come true.”
The timing of this award adds
further impetus to Detectamet’s
exporting plans. Detectamet
Incorporated is opening for business
a in the USA in September. From
its base in Richmond Virginia it will
be able to service its growing list of
North American customers more
efficiently.
Detectamet’s CEO Sean Smith
said “We really hope that our
success will encourage other food
industry enterprises to grasp the
opportunities of exporting. “
