Rotherham company wins award as its exports grow 338%

A Rotherham based healthcare company has won an award after increasing its export sales by an impressive 338 percent.

Inditherm Medical was presented with the UK Trade & Investment Export Achievement Award at the Medilink UK Awards, which celebrate cutting edge technologies, outstanding business achievements and international success and collaboration.

Inditherm specialises in the design and manufacture of heating and warming products which are used in operating theatres, recovery rooms, accident & emergency departments, delivery suites and veterinary surgeries throughout the world. 

Using unique, carbon-based polymer technology the company aims to cut the costs of traditional heating as well as reducing carbon emissions.

Over the last few years Inditherm has already made significant progress with this aim; introducing its products in a number of key target markets globally including the USA, Japan, Poland, France and Lithuania.  

Commenting on the award, Inditherm’s chief executive Nick Bettles said: “We were delighted to have been selected as the winner of the prestigious Medilink UK Export Achievement Award.  Inditherm’s innovative technology is helping to deliver better patient care, in addition to significantly reducing the costs of preventing intra-operative hypothermia. Our strong overseas performance reflects the efforts of our international distributors and the support they receive from our dedicated team here in the UK. To be recognised with this award, after winning the regional heat with Medilink Yorkshire and Humber, is a real achievement for Inditherm’s medical business.

“We would like to thank Medilink for the help they have given us over the years, and UKTI for their support in our export activities.”

The Medilink UK Awards is an annual event designed to showcase the best of healthcare technologies from across the UK. The awards ran over five categories (Innovation, Growth in Sector, Partnership with the NHS, Export Achievement and Start-Up) and nominees were made up of regional winners from the Medilink Awards, selected by a panel of sector specialists from 12 UK regions. 

This year’s event took place in London on 16 March.
