Today (Monday 10 October 2016), Cambridge based sensors company, Zettlex, celebrated the production of a very special sensor. It was sensor number 30,000 that had been produced since 10 October 2015 and it marked the company successfully doubling its production capacity in less than two years.

Zettlex designs and makes sensors for precision measurement of position or speed in harsh environments. The sensors are used by equipment manufacturers in the aerospace, defence, medical and petrochemical markets.

Zettlex General Manager, Mark Howard said “Since more than 80% of our products are for export, naturally we wanted the UK to remain as part of the EU. However, since the Brexit vote the favourable exchange rate has made our products even more competitive around the world and we are just about managing to keep pace with demand. We’ve just signed a long term defence contract in France and have recently had big orders from Canada, S. Korea, Norway and USA. I must say a big thank you to all our production staff who are doing a tremendous job.”

MP for South Cambridgeshire, Heidi Allen said “South Cambridgeshire has a long and proud tradition of innovation and high technology. Zettlex is a great example of a local, export oriented business which is making a name for itself on the global stage.”
