This prestigious honour recognises the company's global impact and sustained growth, with over 95% of its business conducted overseas.

"WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems stands as a shining example of what can be accomplished with innovation, dedication, and a strong sense of purpose."

The company's journey to the King's Award has been shaped by years of rigorous engineering, continuous certification, and a commitment to advancing safety-critical software that engineers can trust. The visit from the Lord-Lieutenant and his Deputies served as a powerful reminder of the significance of this achievement and the opportunities it unlocks.

"This award isn't just a recognition of our international success," said Andrew Longburst, Managing Director for WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems. "It's a reflection of the trust our customers place in us and the belief our team has in what we do."

Looking ahead, WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems is preparing to move into a new office space in January, designed to foster collaboration, creativity, and continued innovation.
