WOKING, ENGLAND -- TT Electronics will invest £3 million ($4.1 million) to create a center of excellence at its Bedlington facility in Northeast England.

TT Electronics will create a fit-for-purpose facility, which it envisions as a world-class center for engineering, manufacturing and operational excellence to support the company’s anticipated growth plans.

The Bedlington facility houses TT Electronics’ high reliability microelectronic hybrid circuits and current sensing, circuit protection and signal conditioning product lines. In 2016, the EMS company spent £1 million to create a Class 6 clean room and install and a multichip module automated production line at the plant.

The current site is being consolidated; buildings are being demolished and redeveloped and an improved space is being created for efficient engineering and manufacturing operations. The facility will continue to be run in line with TT Electronics’ lean operational excellence initiatives. TT Electronics currently employs around 310 people in Bedlington, up more than 25% since 2015.
