DJB Instruments UK Ltd has announced the further expansion and growth of its UK based accelerometer and instrumentation manufacturing facility. The factory expansion will include a new R&D laboratory in addition to additional machine shop capacity. As part of the re-organisation of the current manufacturing space an extended calibration facility will be installed to support the company’s BS EN ISO 17025 (UKAS) application in 2013.
In addition to the building expansion the company has also recently recruited three new staff and is actively searching for new sales staff to support the increased demand from UK and Overseas customers.
Neill Ovenden, DJB Instruments UK Ltd’s General Manager said of the expansion: "The last 12 months have been an exciting time at DJB, we have seen a 60% growth in sales and the launch of many new products. We are determined not to stand still however and this expansion is necessary to support future growth, in addition to new product ranges such as DC response accelerometers and a new range of dynamic force transducers due later this year."
This expansion follows the increase in the cable assembly facility that was completed in 2012 and is part of further planned expansion over the next two years.
Neill went on to say: "We have a 40 year history of success, previously as DJ Birchall Ltd and following the death of the company’s founder in 2009, as DJB Instruments UK Ltd, we are proud to be a UK manufacturer and are determined to continue UK manufacturing."
