Since announcing the acquisition earlier this year, Honeywell has demonstrated its commitment to accelerating Ex-Or's growth and extending its global reach.
"As a result of the investment, we will gain greater manufacturing capability and expand our Ex-Or team," says Ex-Or managing director Neil Jones.
"This shows that with Honeywell's backing, Ex-Or will flourish," said Jones. "Honeywell has demonstrated its commitment to accelerating growth and extending our global reach. The investment means we'll be able to dramatically expand and enhance our offering to better serve our existing and new customers."
Ex-Or will see a 50 per cent increase in its manufacturing capacity at Haydock over the next 18 months. It currently employs 34 at its surface-mount manufacturing and assembly operation.
Work is being carried out to triple the occupancy space of its sales and administration base at Haydock. This currently employs 40 people. Ex-Or expects to conduct significant recruiting over the next 12 months.
Ex-Or is currently enjoying record sales of its lighting controls and lighting management systems in the UK and, increasingly, in global markets as industrial and commercial organisations increasingly realise that automatic control of lighting is a cost effective way to reduce both energy costs and carbon emissions.
