InspecVision awarded King's Award for Enterprise in International Trade

6 May 2025 - SDI Group plc (https://sdigroup.com/) , the buy and build group,
focused on companies which design and manufacture specialist lab equipment,
industrial & scientific sensors and industrial & scientific products,
announces that a recently acquired portfolio company, InspecVision Ltd
("InspecVision"), has been awarded the prestigious King's Award for Enterprise
in the category of International Trade (the "Award").

InspecVision, a designer and manufacturer of computer vision-based measurement
systems, was acquired by SDI Group in a deal announced on 30 October 2024. Its
precision measurement systems are used worldwide by multinational
organisations and SMEs across multiple industries, including automotive and
aerospace, ensuring component parts are manufactured to the highest quality,
to improve production efficiency and reduce waste.

The Award recognises outstanding achievement by UK businesses, with
InspecVision being recognised for its excellence in international trade.
InspecVision has seen overseas sales grow by 126% in the past three years and
96% of all products sold are exported to over 40 overseas countries.

The Award, previously known as The Queen's Awards for Enterprise, was renamed
in 2023 to reflect His Majesty The King's desire to continue the legacy of HM
Queen Elizabeth II by recognising outstanding UK businesses. The Award
programme, now in its 59th year, is the most prestigious business award in the
country, with those awarded able to display the esteemed Award emblem for the
next five years.

InspecVision joins an elite list of companies to have been recognised more
than once, having been awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise in
International Trade in 2021.

Stephen Brown, Chief Executive Officer of SDI Group, said:

"The King's Award for Enterprise is the most prestigious award that can be
bestowed on a UK business, so this is a great achievement for InspecVision.
The criteria for these awards are extremely stringent and to be named a winner
for a second time within five years reflects both the quality of the products
it has developed and also its success in growing sales in both existing and
new markets.

"InspecVision is a great example of a successful UK engineering business
operating in a unique, but critical niche. We're delighted to have welcomed
them into the Group and look forward to continuing to support their exciting
growth journey."
