ERJ staff report (DS)

Cwmbran, Wales -- Cwmbran based Just Rollers plc has been awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise; International Trade - the most prestigious corporate accolade that a UK business can win.

Established in 1971 as Just Rubber Components Ltd, the company changed its name to Just Rollers plc following a management buy-out in 2001. It has since continued with the same team of employees, to become a world leader in the manufacture of rubber compound and rubber and polyurethane covered rollers, with exports to more than 50 countries.

The company employs 73 staff and a turnover of £5.6 million. Over half of the current production is now exported with Russia, France, Germany, Netherlands and China accounting for over 30 percent of sales. There has been a 56 percent increase in exports since 2006 following investment in agents and trade shows; this has resulted in over £1m of additional exports during 2008.

“Our strategy to grow business in international markets is based on innovation and partnership. We have all played an important role in committing to the skill, perseverance and tenacity required to develop and deliver our highly diverse and bespoke products," said Dr Geoff Davis, Managing Director of Just Rollers plc.
