EURO/DPC Wins Queen's Award
For Export Achievement

The staff at EURO/DPC Limited was proud to be presented with the Queen's Award for Export Achievement. This prestigious award recognizes British companies that have demonstrated substantial and sustained increases in export earnings.

As part of DPC's family of manufacturing facilities, EURO/DPC has grown considerably over the past 12 years. The company originated in Oxfordshire and now operates from a 110,000 square foot facility in Llanberis, Gwynedd in North Wales. The company employs approximately 250 people and exports products to 58 countries. Export sales accounted for 78 percent of the firm's total revenue in 1997. Sales turnover has increased by 250 percent over the past 3 years.

Employees and the Welsh community share in this award. Success could not have been achieved without the hard work of the employees, the continuing support of our parent company and the help of public and private sectors in the North Wales business community. In addition, the company strives to ensure that our facilities meet stringent manufacturing guidelines and that efficient support personnel are available. This support involves technical engineering and scientific areas, as well as direct customer support through a dedicated customer services group.

Representatives from DPC's Los Angeles headquarters, DPC distributors and local dignitaries from North Wales attended the presentation ceremony which was held at the EURO/DPC facility in June.

EURO/DPC receives the Queen's Award for Export Achievement for noteworthy increases in export earnings.
