Snell Opens New Manufacturing PlantJuly 26, 2010
READING, U.K.: Snell today announced the opening of a new manufacturing
facility dedicated to the company’s growing line routing switchers. The new
plant is located near the router research-and-development team
in Reading.
“By creating a tighter link between manufacturing and R&D, we will be able
to improve knowledge sharing, which in turn will streamline product development
logistics and help us bring new products to the market faster,” said Snell’s
Paul Martin.
The new plant is the third U.K.-based Snell facility to bring together
manufacturing and R&D under one roof. A plant in Saffron Walden produces
Snell’s Kahuna line of switchers and other switcher products; and a site in Havant
focuses on Snell conversion systems and IQ modular infrastructure products. The
Reading plant was designed to allow for future expansion.
