This is a massive milestone in the company\u2019s 27-year history and we\u2019re looking forward to having the administration, sales and production capacity to achieve further expansion in both new and previously untapped markets and territories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe like to play hard as well as work hard at Ion Science so the building has been designed to offer a fantastic working environment with well-equipped break-out spaces, lovely landscaped gardens and other outside recreational areas for staff and visitors to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Duncan adds: \u201cI would also like to take this opportunity to thank employees for their patience, dedication and hard work in helping get the plant operational within the allotted timeframe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe future for Ion Science and its staff, distributor network and offices in the <a href=\"\/usa\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USA, France and Italy<\/a> looks extremely bright. With the new facility, we\u2019re now ideally positioned to focus on further expanding our presence in global occupational health and environmental monitoring applications,\u201d Duncan concludes.<\/p>\n<p>Providing more light assembly, research and office space, the new plant boasts a range of exciting design features, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ground source heat pump which extracts heat from the ground via bore holes underneath the car park and provides heating and hot water for the building without burning fossil fuels.<\/li>\n<li>Modular access flooring which provides flexibility in the distribution of building services and building layout<\/li>\n<li>Building designed to maximise natural daylight using large windows, doors and rooflights<\/li>\n<li>Structural insulated panels (SIPs) form main structural element of both walls and pitched roofs to provide a highly insulated and air tight building envelope and resistance to damp and cold problems<\/li>\n<li>Internal layout and internal glazed screens provide a connection between areas and teams within the building<\/li>\n<li>Fully designed landscaping scheme incorporates all the recommendations of an ecological survey to enhance the site, including an eco-friendly pond<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As well as investment in the building itself, Ion Science has installed the latest cutting-edge production equipment including a Weiss Technik floor-standing temperature and climatic control chamber to ensure the on-going quality and safety of its handheld and fixed photoionisation detectors (PIDs).<\/p>\n<p>To facilitate the in-house production of printed circuit boards (PCB), Ion Science has also installed an advanced iineo Europlacer SMT pick and place complete production line system. Offering a high level of flexibility and feeder count, it is widely configurable without the need to compromise on placement speed or component capability and delivers complete manufactured items
