Growing export sales have delivered a record turnover for tech firm Mini-Cam as it celebrates its 25th year in business.
The Warrington-based company saw its overall revenues increase year on year by 40%, from £7.6m to £10.6m, during the 12 months to January 31.
Mini-Cam was founded in 1991 by its MD, Nigel Wilson. The firm designs, manufactures and distributes hi-tech pipeline inspection tools such as crawler and push camera systems, which are used by water and wastewater companies and contractors to record and transmit inspection footage.
Other clients include businesses in the oil and gas, construction and engineering sectors.
This year, exports increased to account for 48% of Mini-Cam’s overall turnover, up from 41% last year. The US market saw the strongest rise after the firm secured a new distributor.
Elsewhere, sales likewise surged in Ireland, the Middle East, Scandinavia and the Baltic States, while Mini-Cam has started exporting to China for the first time. The company also signed a deal to become the chief supplier to Germany-based Ehle-HD, fuelling growth in continental Europe.
