At the end of last year, Paxton officially opened the doors to its new Brighton-based manufacturing facility, the Paxton Electronics Centre. Tom Saunders, the company's Facilities Manager, talks about engineering technology, culture, and explains how the new facility supports Paxton’s future goals.

Tom said: “We have designed the Paxton Electronics Centre to increase our production capacity to meet the growing demand for our smart security systems and products. The centre also further enhances our ability to offer world-class company culture and top-level on-site facilities to the professional teams that make Paxton the leading technology brand it is today.”

The Paxton Electronics Centre is a two-storey building, covering a total floor area of approximately 14,600 square feet. The ground floor of the building is the production area where the manufacturing lines and equipment are housed whilst the mezzanine floor consists of lounge areas, a gym, and collaboration spaces.

Tom explains: “When designing the Electronics Centre, we considered feedback from our employees of wanting more outdoor spaces and a fitness room. A large space on the ground floor is set aside for outdoor purposes, and a terrace is built on the first floor, set up with garden furniture.”

The company also made effort in reducing its carbon footprint by installing solar panels on the roof of the Electronics Centre. Tom said: “We have installed a total of 96 solar panels on the Electronics Centre, which account for nearly 460 square metres. This is a great first step introducing renewable energy to our facilities, and we are keen to install more panels in the future. Every time we invest in one more panel, that’s more solar energy we produce and our carbon footprint reduced which is exactly what we want.”

Adam Stroud, the company's longstanding CEO, concluded: “We are extremely proud of the Paxton Electronics Centre. It is a world-class manufacturing facility that will support the needs of our customers and planned rapid growth for a decade or more.”
