SolderKing achieved impressive growth in the past year, doubling its exports and expanding its reach across European markets.

A standout achievement this year was SolderKing’s receipt of a grant from The Growing Places Fund, which will support further research and development. This will help the company continue to push the boundaries of innovation and maintain its leadership in the soldering materials industry.
In recognition of its dedication to sustainability, SolderKing was awarded a Bronze sustainability rating by EcoVadis, placing it among the top 35% of companies assessed globally. This accolade highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to integrate sustainable practices into its operations, ensuring that it meets the highest environmental, ethical, and social standards.
Chris Ward, Chief Operating Officer of SolderKing, said: “2024 has been a transformative year for SolderKing.
