UK Power facility upgraded to meet increased demand
and enhance regional offering
Stadium Stontronics, a leader in the
design and manufacture of power
supplies and cable products, has
significantly upgraded its Reading-
based facility with the addition of a
new dedicated manufacturing cell
fully equipped for the production
of custom power supplies, a new
warehouse space to accommodate an
additional 700 pallets of storage, plus
a large ESD controlled test facility.
Extending its premises in Reading to
more than 25,000 square feet, the business today specialises
in the manufacture and distribution of AC-DC power supplies,
DC-DC converters, desktops, plugtops, custom power
solutions, cable products, primarily for the industrial, medical,
security, LED lighting and single board computing markets.
Stadium Stontronics Managing Director Martin Brabham
commented: “The expansion demonstrates our commitment
to building a world class power supply business with dedicated
design, manufacturing, assembly and distribution capabilities
both in the UK and China.”
“We have added supplementary power supply manufacturing
and test activity to our Reading
headquarters to improve economies
of scale and efficiencies between
our design, manufacture, assembly
and distribution business model.
Having a ‘one stop shop’ on site at
Reading puts us in a better position
to deliver best in class service to
customers. It also enables us to
fully support Stadium Group’s other
business units in Connectivity, HMI
and Electronics Assembly with regional inventory holding and
logistics programs tailored to our customers’ needs.
“The new warehouse space will enable us to further improve
upon our existing high order fulfilment rates, and ensure that
we have the right products, ready to ship for next day delivery.”
Martin added: “Upgrading our facilities has allowed us to re-
design the whole process in the warehouse and improve safety.
We’ve been able to pedestrianise large areas, reduce the
requirement for fork lift truck usage and keep noisy processes
such as cable winding & ultrasonic welding separate.”
