We believe that when one of our businesses improves, we all move forward together. That’s why we created the Robin Hood Award: a recognition that celebrates the spirit of knowledge-sharing and collaboration across our group.

This month, we are proud to announce that the Robin Hood Award goes to the R&D Team at HBI Amerilab Technologies.

Raising the Bar for R&D

The team delivered a significant upgrade to their R&D lab, strengthening their ability to support customer innovation and accelerate product development. What makes this achievement stand out is the way the project was shaped, incorporating best practices and ideas shared by colleagues at HBI Thompson & Capper.

By adapting and applying those insights, Amerilab created a more efficient, future-ready space that enhances both scientific capability and customer collaboration.

A Great Example of “Better Together”

The Robin Hood Award is designed to highlight moments like this, where bold collaboration leads to tangible results. As Michael Hughes, CEO of HBI, put it:

"This is a fantastic example of the HBI spirit in action, teams learning from each other, innovating together, and ultimately building more value for our customers."

This achievement is more than an internal milestone. It’s a demonstration of how HBI businesses lift each other up, ensuring that our customers benefit from the very best thinking, wherever it originates within the group.

Congratulations to the Team

We extend our congratulations to the HBI Amerilab R&D Team for setting a powerful example of collaboration in action. By embracing knowledge-sharing, they’ve created a stronger foundation for innovation, and proven once again that at HBI, we are truly better together.
