AmbiSpace Becomes UK Manufacturer of Specialist Fibre Optic Lighting Products
AmbiSpace Ltd is delighted to announce that they are expanding the company with the acquisition of machinery, equipment and materials following the closure of Flexion Optical Fibre ltd.
This exciting expansion ensures AmbiSpace continue to lead the way in the industry as Sensory Specialists with the capability for production and extrusion of fibre optic lighting products. AmbiSpace Ltd is now one of only two companies in the UK producing fibre optic lighting products and the only sensory specialist company with in-house fibre optic production capabilities.
Moving to a new unit near Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire, AmbiSpace is thrilled to welcome three new members to the AmbiSpace team. Steve Lewis - Head of Fibre Optics, Cheryl Wrenn – Fibre Optics Technician Supervisor and Jenny Alexander – Senior Fibre Optics Technician. Formerly of Flexion Optical Fibre Ltd, they bring over 75 years of specialist experience, knowledge, and expertise in the field of fibre optics for sensory industrial, medical, and commercial product development, manufacture, and supply.
Steve Lewis said:
“We are looking forward to working with the AmbiSpace team and the exciting new challenges ahead as we help to make AmbiSpace the leading sensory company in the UK with new innovations and ideas to support people with special needs and neurodiversity in everyday places”
With this new facility, machinery, and expertise, AmbiSpace has already begun the production of bespoke fibre optic carpets at their new premises for supply to a commercial partner for use in the aviation industry.
Kevin Wheatley, Managing Director of AmbiSpace Ltd is confidently targeting the full extrusion and polishing lines will be up and running by January 2022 for full production of polymer and glass fibre optic lighting products.
“As a long standing client of Flexion we were immensely disappointed to hear of their plans to close the business earlier this year. It is an important product range for our sensory customers and not one easily replaced from elsewhere. We realised that other Flexion clients would be in the same boat, so we immediately began to look for a way to rescue the business and keep it going.
It was a challenging process, but a successful result delivers a giant step forward for AmbiSpace as we add UK manufacturer of a uniquely specialised product range to our portfolio of specialist services. Combining the exceptional skills of Steve, Cheryl and Jenny with our existing team of creative designers and engineers is going to turbocharge growth for the business and stimulate innovation in fibre optic lighting.”
AmbiSpace has a reputation for quality of service and collaboration with commercial clients and partners, with this exciting development they are looking forward to freshening up the fibre optics market and supplying innovative UK manufactured products to existing and new clients.
