• Liniar Shines In Quanex Awards

Each year, Liniar’s US based parent company holds the Quanex Annual Stakeholder Awards for its plants around the world. Liniar just won four awards for its 2021 performance.

Liniar is a PVC-U systems company. It has been  a subsidiary of Quanex since 2015. The company’s number one operational priority is safety. Two of the awards recognised this. The Safety Recognition Award was presented to Liniar’s Secondary Operations and Avantek Machinery teams at its Alfreton site for its achievement in having no recordable accidents during the previous 12 months. The President’s Safety Award went to Liniar’s main site in Denby, Derbyshire and considered the significant safety improvements made between 2020-2021.

 “2021 presented many challenges including supply chain issues, raw material and labour shortages, as well as continuing to navigate the global pandemic, however at no point did we ever compromise on safety.”

– Martin Thurley 

Managing director, Quanex Group

Pandemic prizes

“Throughout the Quanex Group, we want everyone to work in a safe and healthy environment and the fact that Liniar has won two awards in this category is testament to the strong safety culture we are continually developing throughout the business.”

Liniar also scooped the performance based Quanex Appreciation Award, demonstrating the ability of its team members to pull together and continue to deliver excellent customer service during one of the most challenging years the industry has faced.

Supply chain

Finally, the President’s Service Award was awarded to supply chain teams across the Quanex Group, including Liniar’s procurement department, led by Business Services Director Colin Sharpe.

The awards were presented by Quanex President and CEO George Wilson alongside the Quanex Strategy Council team on a recent trip to its visit European sites.
