A Black Country company which calibrates and repairs 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 next year too.

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 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.”
