Cumbria for the LED lighting market

In addition, the vice president pointed out that this year the company will equally stress sales in both overseas and local markets, a revision to past strategy of focusing on export sales. The enterprises and factories are the company’s primary potential customers. The company will double its annual output in the near future from current 5,000 lamps. As part of the expansion plan, the company will add production lines in Q3.

UK Company Marl International has announced to inject ￡150,000 to double its manufacturing output at its site in Ulverston, Cumbria for the LED lighting market. The announcement brings the investment made by Marl in its UK manufacturing facility to ￡270,000 altogether.

The production line has been specially modified to handle PCB boards of up to 600mm long, which are commonly required to replace conventional lighting products.

Marl is not only ramping up its output of LED lighting modules that act as a direct replacement for much less efficient lighting technologies, but will also enter the electro-mechanical module assembly business aiming to match offshore pricing with quality, UK manufactured products.
