A New R&D Facility for C-TEC

C-TEC’s new state-of-the-art Research and Development unit in the heart of Lancashire is now complete. 

The £1.5m centre of excellence, located at Dark Lane, Mawdesley, features three new laboratories, a fully traceable EMC test facilility and an array of meeting rooms/customer demonstration areas. The official opening of the building was timed to coincide with the company’s 25th anniversary celebrations. 

Comments Andrew Foster, MD, “The construction of this new facility marks a turning point for C-TEC as it will signal a significant increase in our research and development capabilities. The purpose-built environment and additional space will allow us to investigate new technologies and improve our existing product lines”. 

C-TEC’s reputation as a manufacturer of top-quality fire alarm control panels, voice alarms and disability equipment has resulted in the company enjoying considerable year-on-year growth. 

The company’s ambitious expansion plans also include a new 15,000 sq ft unit at its Wigan site to increase stockholding capacity and to accommodate two new surface mount assembly machines. 

R&D VACANCIES 

To coincide with the building’s opening, C-TEC is now actively recruiting additional engineering staff. We are particularly interested in interviewing experienced Hardware Engineers with a background in analogue design and Software Engineers who have a proven background in embedded software design, preferably with Windows programming skills.  For further information, please e-mail our R&D Manager, Steve Stringfellow at r&d@c-tecresearch.co.uk
