Domino scooped the award for ‘Best Electronics and Electrical Plant and was also one of four finalists in the ‘Overall Best Factory Category’.
The event, which was organised by Cranfield School of Management and attended by more than 200 manufacturing leaders, was held at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham and hosted by BBC journalist and presenter Louise Minchin.
Carl Haycock, UK Printer Operations Director said: ”We have done fantastically well to achieve this recognition in the first year of entering these awards after a break of ten years. The award is testament to the huge amount of effort that has gone into the factory not only by the whole Operations Team but many other supporting departments. The equipment and processes of our new CIJ product line no doubt played a key role in our assessment.”
Cranfield School of Management’s BFA programme, now in its 25th year, has seen a change in the emphasis of UK manufacturing and reviewing this year’s winners, the judges were able to see that they share several common traits – they have a clear strategy, they are customer focused and they have a strong improvement ethos.
Domino employs 2,700 people worldwide and sells to more than 120 countries through a global network of 25 subsidiary offices and more than 200 distributors. Domino’s manufacturing facilities are located in China, Germany, India, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and USA.
Domino became an autonomous division within Brother Industries on 11th June 2015.
