A new R&D Division has been opened in York by a Republic of Ireland-based temperature and pressure instrumentation manufacturer that aims to expand its operation to mainland UK. Eurolec Instrumentation opened its new research and development department at the Science Park in York.

“We’re delighted to announce the opening of our York office. The new office is located close to the university, which provides an excellent pool of talented engineers who are capable of creating the complex systems required to provide simple-to-use solutions, which will allow users to monitor a wide network of systems that aim to improve lives,” said Martin Williams, Eurolec Chief Engineer.

There are already three members of staff based in the new division and further expansion plans are due to happen later this year. With the latest R&D investment, the company is now looking to provide Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for clients as part of an expanded product and service-based offering.

Along with sister company Cirrus Research based in Hunmanby, Eurolec also plans to start offering distributed noise monitoring to provide live monitoring and historical noise data analysis using cloud technology. In addition, further investment has been made in the company’s website to transform it into an e-commerce platform, which has recently been launched.

With 40 years’ experience in the design, manufacture and supply of portable temperature and pressure instrumentation, Eurolec’s range of precision thermometers, probes, infrared thermometers, manometers and temperature calibration sources are exported globally.
