Almath Crucibles Ltd is one of only 205 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise. Announced on Thursday 29^th April 2021, Almath Crucibles Ltd has been recognised for its excellence in international trade.

Employing 6 people, Almath Crucibles Ltd was set up in 1996 by Alan Misson and manufactures specialist high temperature ceramics for research and industry.

The Business started in a Garden shed in Dullingham before moving to the Running Horse Industrial Estate in Burrough Green in 2004, where it is still based.

“The business is very dependent on the skills the staff bring to the job, Manufacturing ceramics is not easy, making complex and accurate shapes from raw materials is a challenge. I’m really proud of what we have achieved as a team, especially during the last year which has been a real struggle… I really want to say thank you to the whole team for their efforts”.

— Michael Misson, Director
