Further expansion at Integration Technology

The first in a three-phase development program at Integration Technology Ltd (ITL)'s headquarters at Upper Heyford near Oxford, UK, has been completed with relocation of sales, technical and administration personnel into a newly refurbished 20,000 sq ft building with capacity for future expansion.

In addition to housing the company’s day-to-operations, the new building – located opposite the company’s former administration block – is also home to ITL’s customer center, which offers application testing in addition to meeting facilities.

The new building forms the nucleus of a suite of further planned facilities, in addition to a new production hall, to be opened in phases two and three of future development at ITL’s headquarters over forthcoming months.

China expansion

Additional production of ITL’s SubZero miniature UV emitter is now underway at the company’s recently opened facility in China. Located close to Hong Qiao Airport in west Shanghai, newly registered subsidiary Integration Technology China is building ITL products to satisfy the demands of the local market.

While key parts are currently sourced from ITL UK, locally-derived content will be increased during the coming year leaving only key technology components imported. Meanwhile, production of the SubZero for all other regions continues at the company’s UK headquarters.

ITL China general manager Sam Yang said: ‘With our China market business continuing to grow, so too has the importance of establishing a more significant foothold within the community and our conversion from import agency to a local manufacturing business reflects this fact.’

USA expansion

ITL's North American headquarters is in the process of moving into a newly refurbished and expanded office within its location in Chicago, Illinois. The new facilities are over twice the size of the existing offices.

General manager Jennifer Heathcote commented: ‘The additional space not only caters for increased volumes of equipment throughput within the North American markets, but also allows us to improve our demonstration and local integration, service and support capabilities.’
