Liniar has won four awards at the Quanex Annual Stakeholder Awards for its performance in 2021.

Two of the awards recognised Liniar’s operational safety record. The Safety Recognition Award was presented to Liniar’s secondary operations and Avantek machinery teams at its Alfreton site for its achievement in having no recordable accidents during the previous 12 months.

The President’s Safety Award went to Liniar’s main site in Denby, Derbyshire and considered the significant safety improvements made between 2020-2021.

Martin Thurley, group MD, commented: “2021 presented many challenges including supply chain issues, raw material and labour shortages, as well as continuing to navigate the global pandemic, however at no point did we ever compromise on safety. Throughout the Quanex Group, we want everyone to work in a safe and healthy environment and the fact that Liniar has won two awards in this category is testament to the strong safety culture we are continually developing throughout the business.”

Liniar also scooped the performance based Quanex Appreciation Award, demonstrating the ability of its team members to deliver excellent customer service during one of the most challenging years the industry has faced.

Finally, the President’s Service Award was awarded to supply chain teams across the Quanex Group, including Liniar’s procurement department, led by business services director, Colin Sharpe.

Colin said: “I am so proud of my team. Their agility has been proven time and time again during the global supply chain issues and they continue to work extremely hard to mitigate the ongoing issues within our supply chain to ensure that as a business we can continue to deliver industry-leading customer service.”

The awards were presented by Quanex president and CEO, George Wilson alongside the Quanex strategy council team on a recent trip to its visit European sites.
