Loadhog achieves 2nd Queen’s Award for International Trade
25th April 2022
Innovative packaging manufacturer, Loadhog, has been awarded a Queen’s Award for International Trade.
The Sheffield based company remains at the forefront of the packaging industry and is committed to creating sustainable solutions for supply chains across the globe.
The multi-award winning, employee-owned manufacturer has now won its 2nd Queen’s Award for International Trade in 2022 to add to their previous win in 2020. In 2009, the company was also awarded the Innovation Queen’s Award for its unique Smartstak glass transportation system.
In the last 3 years, Loadhog has expanded across the globe, opening Loadhog Sarl in France and Loadhog Inc in Chicago. These subsidiaries have helped to better service our growing number of international customers and allowed us to expand into new and developing markets.
Loadhog hit their 2020 targets early, compelling them to transition their vision to 2023 with new actions, and due to surpassing some of the targets already in 2021, they are now continuing in this direction and setting new targets for 2030. At the rate the business is growing and with the performance in the market increasing, Loadhog is edging closer towards being the world’s leading packaging manufacturer.
Loadhog’s sales have grown significantly over the last three years, with a 220% growth from £13.4m to £29m in 2020. Last year they saw the largest growth and yet performance has maintained in 2021. This may sound surprising because of the pandemic, however due to the rise in click and collect and ecommerce they have managed to push Loadhog solutions into new markets and sectors.
Shaun Khan, Managing Director, said: “Loadhog winning a Queen’s Award for International Trade for the 2nd time, is a true testament to the hard work done by all our employees. I would like to thank everyone for their resilience and commitment as we continue to grow.”
Loadhog plan to keep moving forward by focusing on the key areas that have an opportunity for growth, including automation, intralogistics and the recently booming online retail and parcel sector. Their expert UK and global sales team are constantly researching market trends, continuously trying to push Loadhog’s RTP into new sectors.
The phenomenal growth Loadhog has achieved has opened many opportunities across multiple industries, pushing towards becoming the market leader.
