Goodwin International has been announced as a finalist for the Manufacturer of the Year Award at the 2026 Staffordshire Chambers Business Awards, sponsored by Indurent.

Rooted in Stoke-on-Trent since 1883, Goodwin International produces high-integrity engineered components and flow-control products for nuclear, defence, petrochemical and power generation applications. With 41 CNC machines, 250,000+ machining hours per year and 24/7 three-shift production, clients include Rolls-Royce, Sellafield, BP and GE Power.

Turnover has grown strongly year on year, with the wider Mechanical Engineering Division reporting 55% pre-tax profit growth in FY2024. Of 343 employees, 45 are apprentices, 95% of whom stay to build long-term careers. Planning approval secured in 2025 for two new production units is expected to create up to 100 further skilled jobs in Staffordshire.

Stuart Elford, Chief Executive of Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, said: “Goodwin International is one of the great manufacturing businesses not just in Staffordshire but in the UK. The work they do in nuclear, defence and energy applications demands absolute precision, and they deliver it consistently, at scale, from Stoke-on-Trent. Their commitment to apprenticeships and to creating skilled jobs in this city makes them an outstanding finalist and a business we are enormously proud to have in our city.”

The winners will be revealed at a gala awards ceremony at Uttoxeter Racecourse on Thursday 9 July 2026, followed by The After Party, a late-night celebration for finalists, winners and partners.
