Ceramicx opens UK office
10 April, 2014
The UK and Ireland – Ceramicx celebrates the alliance!
Few in the UK and in Ireland this week can fail to have noticed the convivial celebrations around the first state visit of an Irish president to the UK. The event has been remarkable in many ways; in 
terms of the pageantry and also for the future social and economic implications.
It therefore seems entirely appropriate at this time for Ceramicx to announce the opening of our first UK office:
20 Station Road, Cambridge, CB1 2JD. Tel: 01223 653159.
The location is the historic and learned town of Cambridge; near to our University friends in the Institute for Manufacturing, near also to our East Anglian commercial and industrial partners, Green Energy.
The UK is becoming an increasingly important place for Ceramicx – and here we speak as a company that is truly global in scope with 98% of turnover exported around the world. Some 12% of that turnover is now located in the UK. Signs are that that will continue to build in the coming months.
The UK business climate - its history and experience in nurturing SME manufacturers - has become very favorable. For example, it is not for nothing that the UK currently has the highest projected forward growth from any European country and has also been successful in ‘reshoring’ much of its manufacturing work from around the world; from India and from the Far East. This activity could not and would not have happened without plenty of willing and successful UK SME manufacturers ready to take on quality manufacturing work. In short, Ceramicx feels right at home in this kind of company.
In our view the UK Government has also played a good hand: The establishment of the Catapult manufacturing centers of excellence has given a clear signal of skilled support and intervention in key areas.
Ceramicx is now involved with the Bristol-based composites catapult venture the NCC and intends to explore further UK catapult technologies based upon our IR heating competences.
In short Ceramicx likes what it sees over the Irish Sea. Our UK operations, including our online shop, will now be undergoing some intensive expansion and restructuring in the coming months. We are also greatly encouraged by the wider political and cultural developments between our two islands this week. By any benchmark the Ceramicx future in both places looks very bright.
