Locate in Leeds - a leeds based website promoting local business recently recognised Microdat's growth and published the following feature.
Microdat engineer brewing industry growth.
The sustained growth in sales of real ale and craft breweries has created a £4m market for an innovative Leeds engineering company that specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of sophisticated cask-filling systems and associated brewing equipment and plans to double current turnover in the near future.
In 2001 science graduate and former marine engineer Steve Midgley tabled his idea for the company and was advised by business experts to ignore manufacturing and become a design house. Instead, he backed manufacturing, has never looked back and achieved market-leading status in the brewing industry.
Currently turning over £3.6m, his sights are now set on the export market and an £8m annual sales target for his Microdat firm within the next few years.
“The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has been a great help to our business, in continuing to demand cask ales. As independent and craft brewers have prospered we’ve achieved a unique number one spot in automated systems for casks,” says Midgley.
“We design, manufacture, build and install systems, supported by a service operation that contributes growing revenues to our annual income. Britain’s brewing industry is mirrored worldwide and we’re now turning our attention to the export market where we believe there will be tremendous potential for our products.”
