SE Controls to grow with investment
SE Controls, based in Lichfield, has invested more than £1m in new premises after securing funding from Barclays Corporate.
The company will now expand into its 21,000 sq ft property at Fradley Park, Lichfield, adjacent to its existing site.
SE Controls supplies smoke and natural ventilation systems. Turnover at the company has increased to £10m and it is now preparing to expand its 75 staff to more than 100 over the next three years.
Will Perkins, managing director of SE Controls, said overseas expansion had helped boost revenues at the company.
Perkins said: "The expansion into the new premises will provide much needed warehousing and increased production facilities but will also enable us to create a research and development centre which will allow our continuous and innovative new product development program to flourish.
"The group is now operating on a truly global basis having offices in the Far East, the Middle East, Southern Africa, India and Brazil and our new facilities and IT infrastructure are essential to support our growing export business. We fully expect non UK sales to account for an increasing percentage of our business in the coming years."
