Introducing the Manufacturing Supplier Innovation Awards UK 2025

The UK’ s manufacturing sector is undergoing a profound transformation – driven by digitization, sustainability, advanced automation, and the constant need for resilience in uncertain times. At the heart of this evolution are the suppliers, technologies, and service providers delivering the tools and strategies manufacturers rely on to thrive.

It’ s in this spirit that Manufacturing Today launched the Manufacturing Supplier Innovation Awards UK 2025 – to recognise the trailblazers behind the scenes. These awards celebrate excellence in solutions, services, and partnerships that are reshaping how manufacturing is done, from smart factory technologies to document management, energy optimization, supply chain transparency, and beyond.

With the backing of Manufacturing Today’ s 160,000 + readers and an expert Advisory Board, this inaugural awards program sets a new benchmark for recognizing supplier innovation – not just for what it promises, but for the measurable difference it delivers on shop floors, across operations, and within the wider industrial ecosystem.

Innovation is the engine of progress in our sector – and it’ s often driven by the partners and providers working tirelessly behind the scenes. The Manufacturing Supplier Innovation Awards UK 2025 celebrate those who are delivering not only new technologies, but real impact for manufacturers. We’ re proud to spotlight these achievements and continue our commitment to championing excellence across the manufacturing supply chain
