DAGE Products, part of Nordson ELECTRONICS SOLUTIONS, is proud to announce that the company is one of 220 organizations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise. Announced on Tuesday 21 April, DAGE has been recognized for its excellence in international trade.
Over the past three years, the company has grown its overseas sales by more than 50% with profits increasing by almost 150%.

The DAGE head office and manufacturing facilities are based in Aylesbury, UK. With offices in China, Germany, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and the USA, it offers a strong local service and support network to ensure customers receive the highest level of attention.
Mani Ahmadi, General Manager of DAGE, commented, “We are proud to win this award as a recognition of our growth and success in providing the best test and inspection solution to our customers. It is a testament to our employees in UK and all around the world.”
Now in its 54th year, the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious business awards in the UK, with winning businesses able to use the esteemed Queen’s Awards emblem for the next five years. DAGE will celebrate its award during a royal reception for Queen’s Awards winners later in the year.
