Agemaspark Named Engineering Manufacturer of the Year at Made in Yorkshire Awards

Agemaspark Ltd 10/03/2026

Precision engineering specialist Agemaspark has been named Engineering Manufacturer of the Year at the Insider Made in Yorkshire Awards, held last week at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.

The award recognises Agemaspark’s excellence in advanced manufacturing and its commitment to innovation, particularly through continued investment in 3D metal printing technology. Judges praised the company’s ability to apply this technology to deliver measurable performance improvements for customers operating in highly demanding sectors including aerospace, nuclear and defence.

Agemaspark has built a strong reputation for high-precision engineering solutions, supporting customers with complex tooling and mould components where reliability, accuracy and performance are critical.

Managing Director Paul Stockhill said the award reflects the dedication and expertise of the company’s team.

“Winning Engineering Manufacturer of the Year is a fantastic achievement for everyone at Agemaspark. It recognises the commitment, skill and innovation our team brings to the business every day.

Our investment in technologies such as 3D metal printing is about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in precision engineering and helping our customers achieve better performance and efficiency. We are incredibly proud to see that work recognised at a regional level alongside so many outstanding manufacturers.”

The Engineering Manufacturer of the Year category also featured a strong shortlist including SEW‑EURODRIVE UK, Unison Ltd, and WDS Components, highlighting the depth of engineering talent across Yorkshire.

As a regional winner, Agemaspark will now go forward to the Made in the UK Awards national finals, which will take place on Thursday 19 November at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester, where the best manufacturers from across the UK will compete for the national titles.

Paul Stockhill added “Congratulations to all the finalists and winners on the night. Events like this are a great reminder of the strength, capability and innovation within Yorkshire manufacturing.”

The Made in Yorkshire Awards celebrate the region’s most innovative and successful manufacturing businesses, showcasing the companies and individuals driving the sector forward. The award win marks another milestone for Agemaspark as it continues to invest in advanced manufacturing capabilities and support customers operating in some of the world’s most demanding engineering environments.
