Power Plastics Wins North Yorkshire’s Top Manufacturer Award

North Yorkshire-based manufacturer Power Plastics Limited is proud to announce they have been awarded Top Manufacturer in the 2026 York and North Yorkshire Top 100. Run by The York Press in partnership with York St. John University, the annual Top 100 recognises the region’s best-performing and most impactful businesses, celebrating their contribution to the economy of York and North Yorkshire.

Each year, a team at York Business School analyses Companies House data for businesses across North Yorkshire, looking at turnover, profit and employee numbers to compile the rankings. This year, Power Plastics ranked 17th overall — and took the title of Top Manufacturer!

150 guests including David Skaith, the Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, members of York’s Civic Party and other dignitaries attended the awards ceremony at York St. John University. Simon Price (Chairman) and Nick Atkinson (Sales Manager) were delighted to attend the ceremony and share the stage with some of the region’s leading businesses — from overall winner UNTHA UK Limited, the Boroughbridge-based manufacturer of industrial shredders, to the world-renowned Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate.

Commenting on the award, Simon Price said: “This award is recognition of the whole team at Power Plastics, who have worked tirelessly over the past few years to support the many significant client projects that have contributed to our continued growth and success. A huge thank you to every one of them.”

Professor Karen Bryan OBE, Vice Chancellor of York St John University, who presented the awards, highlighted the role the university plays in supporting local businesses.

Similarly, Professor Brendan Paddison, Dean of York Business School at York St John University spoke of the partnerships between the university, business and government bodies, that would drive success in the region. The awards will return in 2027.
