UK made: Pimoroni switches to larger Sheffield base
Electronics manufacturer Pimoroni has doubled its production, research and development and warehousing space by relocation within Sheffield.
The company, founded in 2012, supplies 2,500 educational, industrial and hobbyist products through over 100 distributors worldwide.
It has £6m turnover and 40 staff, and has brought all its operations under one roof with a 10-year lease in a 26,000ft
2 HQ on Parkway Drive.
“We had been looking for a big enough building in Sheffield city centre and bring our whole manufacturing, packing and shipping crew under one roof. We couldn’t have asked for a better place,” said Pimoroni creative director Paul Beech, who founded the company with Jon Williamson. “Not only does it allow us to consolidate into one Sheffield site, the modern building gives us the confidence to extend our production lines to meet the increased demand, and have a springboard to expand from.”
