Halma picks up Chinese Business Award

Halma has won the
Innovation Award at the
British Business Awards in
Shanghai, China. The Award

of Halma’s subsidiaries
operating in China, which

innovative products to the
Chinese market since 2006.

Over 20 Halma subsidiaries
now operate in China in
industries as diverse as water
treatment and testing,
industrial safety, photonics,
laboratory instrumentation
and health.

Organised by the British
Chambers of Commerce in
China, the British Business
Awards recognise and
promote excellence in
innovation, enterprise and
endeavour in the British
business community in
China. The Awards
Ceremony and Gala Dinner,
held on 7th September in
Shanghai, was attended by a
host of VIPs including His
Royal Highness Prince
Andrew, the Duke of York,

Trade and Investment.

The Innovation Award
recognises organisations that
are committed to research
and development and
introducing innovative and
sustainable technology with
practical applications. Halma
won the award against very
strong competition. The
judges were particularly
impressed by the broad sweep
of applications in which
Halma’s products are being
used in China.
