Kentec Electronics is representing UK manufacturing in the UK Parliamentary Review 2015-16.
Featuring alongside Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond and leading organisations in other manufacturing fields, the fire safety vendor will appear in the electronic manufacturing edition.
This edition of the review, which showcases best practice to both the public and private sectors, is pitched at leading policymakers and executives in the manufacturing sector.
Kentec exports control equipment to more than 80 countries, with its largest markets being the UK, US and Middle East. Enjoying a sales split of 45% for domestic and 55% for export markets, the company is arguably well placed to exploit the plummeting pound that is being blamed on Brexit-related uncertainty.
The company recently expanded its manufacturing facility in Dartford, Kent. “The factory now manufactures up to 50% more panels each month than it was doing only a year ago,” said Jonathan Gilbert, Kentec’s general manager for sales and marketing. “We are proud to be a complete British manufacturer, with our Dartford factory manufacturing all the fire panels and ancillaries that Kentec supply.
“Kentec manufactures products approved to the European EN54 and United States NFPA standards as well as multiple other country and marine standards, with our products’ interfaces operative in many different languages.”
Kentec’s management systems are ISO 9001:2008-approved and Kentec was recognised for its environmental credentials when it gained the ISO 14001 certification from BSI in 2007.
