Advanced Manufacturing & Industry Award: HPS TECH
The Southern Star Group is proud to sponsor this year’s Advanced Manufacturing and Industry category at the 2022 Geelong Business Excellence Awards.
Open to all businesses operating in the manufacturing, engineering, building or trade industries, the winner of the category this year is HPS Tech.
Established in 2009, HPS Tech’s three directors wished to establish a business with a customer-centric and employee-centric approach to engineering, resulting in high quality, highly innovative solutions for customers.
This vision has since been realised through the execution of millions of dollars worth of projects, as well as high growth in staff and the business’s establishment as a world leader in the efficient production of specialised growth products, such as Lactoferrin (a protein found in milk).
HPS Tech employs over 30 multidisciplinary staff with degrees ranging from engineering to science and business.
This team has been carefully trained to hone specialised skills in hygienic processing design and product execution and delivery.
The technology manufactured by HPS delivers significant value to clients through locally designed and developed intellectual property in hygienic design and separation techniques in the food, beverage, brewery, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.
“HPS Tech’s commitment to Geelong and the region is demonstrated through their employment of local engineering and science graduates along with their expansion into a new research and development laboratory in North Geelong,” stated the judges.
“Whether it’s commercialising unique manufacturing processes or extracting individual dairy proteins for infant formula, or solving problems for companies that make our vaccines, our drinks, and our confectionary, HPS Tech may have been Geelong’s best-kept clever and creative business secret… until today.”
