Dutch Co-Founders Toast New Bronkhorst UK Headquarters

Bronkhorst UK, a market leader in fluid metering and control instrumentation, has completed its move to spacious new premises in the home of thoroughbred horse racing, Newmarket. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Bronkhorst High-Tech BV of Holland, the company was originally established in Sawston, Cambridgeshire in 2002 and has since grown rapidly, increasing financial turnover by some 800% during that period. Having outgrown its original headquarters, it has relocated to Newmarket in order to have room for future expansion and gain access to the local pool of skilled labour, with plans to double its workforce within the next five years.

“We have grown rapidly in terms of both sales revenue and staff numbers, even maintaining an upward trend during the recession, and our new Newmarket base gives us more valuable floorspace, good links with the travel network and a superb quality of environment, in an historic market town,” says Bronkhorst UK’s Managing Director, Andrew Mangell. “It was a great honour for the two founders to travel over for our mayoral opening and toast the next phase of our journey. They have invested substantially in growing the UK operation and their policy of spending around 15% group annual turnover on research and development means that we always have a flow of truly innovative new products to bring to the British marketplace.”
