Control Techniques' high-tech Manufacturing facility in Newtown, Powys has recently received the prestigious Wales Environment Award.
The Award was presented on the 9th October by Corus, sponsors of the award for Companies with over 250 Employees, during a ceremony held jointly at Cardiff International Arena and Bryn Howel Hotel, Llangollen.
