A Black Country company which calibrates and repairs electrical and mechanical test equipment has doubled the size of its base to help meet growing business.
Quasartronics has taken on the adjacent unit and now occupy a total of 2,936 sq ft at the Innovation Centre on the Pensnett Estate, Kingswinford, which is owned and managed by London and Cambridge Properties Ltd (LCP). It has employed another engineer, taking its workforce to 21, and is likely to increase its support staff this year.
The company was formed in Dudley 20 years ago and has been at Pensnett for 12 years.
Owner and managing director Kevin Webb said: “We have doubled our accommodation here because we needed the capacity to cope with our growing workload. We have a database of 4,000 customers, ranging from self-employed electricians to multi nationals, and serve an area stretching from Manchester to the East Midlands, the M40 corridor and the Welsh border and everything in between.
“We offer a total calibration service for sectors including the automotive and energy supply industries. Some clients need their testing equipment to be re-calibrated every 12 months while for others it may be every three to six months, depending on how sensitive the equipment needs to be.
“We chose to locate at Pensnett because it is in the heart of a major manufacturing area and is well connected with its proximity to the motorway network. I also appreciate that it is a well managed estate.”
Just one unit of 2,860 sq ft remains available at the Innovation Centre.
The Pensnett Estate currently has accommodation available to let ranging from offices of 141 sq ft to warehouse and production units of up to 36,525 sq. ft. Owner LCP is based there and is one of the UK’s largest private owners of industrial and retail property. Its total commercial property portfolio in excess of 14 million sq ft is held for long term investment purposes.
