Tintometer gets "knighted"

The 130 year old British company, The Tintometer Ltd, has received the honour of being presented with the Queen’s Award for International Trade: the highest distinction that can be bestowed upon a UK company.

It wins the award for growth in overseas earnings of 160 per cent over the past six years. Over the past 11 years, the family business has grown into an international group, with its headquarters at Tintometer GmbH in Dortmund, Germany.

The company manufactures water testing instruments and chemical reagents, and also instruments for measuring colour, all under the Lovibond brand.
