REP-TEC Wins Manufacturing Innovation Award at the Made In NI Awards

Here at REP-TEC, we are proud to announce that we have won the Manufacturing Innovation Award at the Insider Media Made in NI Awards, held on Friday evening in Belfast. This marks back-to-back wins for us, having also taken home the award for Manufacturing Start Up of the Year at last year’s event.

The award recognises our pioneering ECO-DRIVE® technology and our commitment to building smarter, more energy-efficient machines for the recycling and waste management industries. ECO-DRIVE® is an energy-saving solution and when it is integrated with our twin ram baler control system, typically delivers up to a 30% saving on power usage compared to traditional systems. By enabling precise control over motor speed, ECO-DRIVE® significantly optimises energy usage throughout the baling process—enhancing operational efficiency, lowering running costs, and reducing environmental impact.

What began as a mission to create better, more sustainable solutions has become the driving force behind everything REP-TEC does. This award marks a major milestone in our company’s journey and highlights the innovation and dedication of the entire team.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to receive this award,” said Colm Grimes, Managing Director of REP-TEC. “It’s a significant moment for everyone who has contributed to our progress and growth. ECO-DRIVE is more than just a technology – it represents a shift in how we approach machine design, sustainability, and the future of manufacturing.”

Following this award, REP-TEC are now preparing to represent Northern Ireland in the Made in the UK finals this June in Liverpool.

Colm continues, “A huge thanks to everyone involved in making this achievement possible. We’re honoured to be flying the flag for NI and excited to showcase what we’ve built on the national stage next month.”
