Aconda (formerly known as Tracked Carriers) recently announced it had won the King’s Award for Enterprise 2025.
HRH King Charles III recognised the company’s achievements in pioneering technology and material-handling machines and acknowledged Aconda as a shining example of innovative British manufacturing excellence. Aconda, the pioneering force behind heavy-duty tracked carrier technology, is celebrating a major milestone in its global success story.
Following continued international growth and record-breaking sales across Europe, the company has recently moved into a new, state-of-the-art headquarters in Essex, UK to support increased production and innovation capacity. Crowning this period of exceptional achievement, Aconda has been awarded the 2025 King’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category – one of the world’s highest accolades for business.
The award recognises Aconda’s outstanding contribution to technological advancement and its impact on productivity and safety across industries. Aconda Director Tom Cannon commented, “This award and our global growth are a testament to the hard work of our team and the strength of our innovation. We’re proud to fly the flag for British manufacturing. Thank you also to our loyal customers and supply chain for being part of our success.”
From meeting HRH King Charles III to flying the flag for Pace Cranes
Being one of only 197 companies to receive the King’s Awards for Enterprise in 2025 is not only a great achievement, it’s also an opportunity for the spotlight to fall on British made material handling machines by being listed in the prestigious London Gazette publication.
Having received the award, Tom had the opportunity to meet HRH King Charles III at an exclusive winners’ royal reception at Windsor Castle in Berkshire.
In addition, later this year, HRH King Charles III will send his Lord Lieutenant, Jennifer Tolhurst, to Essex to meet the ACONDA team at the global headquarters in Witham. Tolhurst will present the bespoke trophy together with a commemorative scroll, signed by His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister. Winning the King’s Award for Enterprise, allows Aconda to fly the bespoke commemorative flag at its offices and to display the King’s Awards’ emblem on products, packaging and stationery.
Established in 1965, the King’s Awards for Enterprise were previously known as the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise.
