Export sales drive growth

Hansford Sensors recently celebrated its tenth anniversary with a record year, with revenues and production volumes reaching an all-time high. Managing director, Chris Hansford, explains: “In recent years – and certainly since the Brexit referendum – we have devoted considerable time and effort to developing our export business. We now have a network of sales partners around the world, including wholly or partly owned subsidiaries in America, India, Germany, Central and Eastern Europe, and Australia. As a result, our export sales have grown dramatically, and now account for over 85% of our business.”
 
This rapid growth has led to the expansion of the company’s production facilities, with the sales and administration offices being relocated to a new build area and the space converted to production areas. These include extended test and development, quality control and assembly departments, totalling an additional 2,000 square feet of space.
