2011 International Track 100 supplement
The second annual International Track 100 league table
supplement was published in The Sunday Times on 8 May 2011, with title sponsor HSBC.
The league table ranked companies' international sales growth over the latest two years of available accounts. The table was based on limited publicly available data of international sales so there are likely to be omissions, but it provides a useful picture of growth in overseas trade by UK private companies.
Despite difficult trading conditions, the 100 companies' international sales grew by an average of 91% a year over two years to a total of £1.6bn. International sales growth ranged from 50% pa to 418% pa.
The vast majority of companies sell to mainland Europe (96), making it the most popular overseas market, followed by Asia (68) and North America (66). More than half the companies trade on four or more continents. The top countries for exports are the US (64), Germany (57) and France (53).
The top-ranked company is SMS Electronics, which manufactures video-conferencing systems. It generated exports of £19m in 2010, up 418% a year compared to £700,000 in 2008. See the press releases.
The 2012 International Track 100 league table will be published next May.
