Paxton opens new Center for Technology & Product Innovation

Greenville, SC – January 24, 2018 - Paxton Access, a global manufacturer of IP access control and door entry solutions, has opened a new state-of-the-art center for technology and innovation alongside its current UK Head Office in Brighton.

The 29,000-sq. ft. Paxton Technology Centre is now home to the company’s product Research and Development departments and means that it can continue to be at the cutting edge of design and technology within the global security industry.

Paxton has enjoyed rapid growth worldwide and last year continued to invest heavily in the U.S. market. The company more than doubled the size of its Technical Support team, added a new team of Field Training Engineers and increased its national team of Regional Sales Managers to ten. 2017 also saw the start of production and assembly of the company’s Net2 access control products from their Greenville, SC facility which will allow the company to better serve its US customer base.

Adam Stroud, Paxton’s Group Chief Executive says: “We are delighted with our new center and feel it’s a real statement of intent showing the direction the company is moving. For over 30 years, we have aimed for engineering excellence, designing and manufacturing intelligent and innovative security products. The investment we continue to make into product research and development, enables us to continue to drive innovation within the global security market.

“The whole building has been designed to create a dynamic and collaborative working environment for our head office team and the open plan working space creates the perfect setting to support hundreds of decisions being made every day, to progress the company towards further global expansion and the diversification of our extensive product range.”

Paxton is now a key player in the US market with its range of security solutions. Products include:

• Net2, its flagship networked access control system and
• Paxton BLU, a cloud-based access control solution

These products will continue to form part of Paxton’s ongoing product development process carried out at the new technology center.  The company has seen its global turnover double every four years and its continued international growth was evidenced last year when it was named as one of Europe’s fastest growing companies, as part of a ranking published by the Financial Times. The list compiled companies with the highest percentage growth in revenues between 2012 and 2015.

Adam Stroud continues: "The Paxton Technology Centre is so much more than just a new building for Paxton. It is the physical embodiment of all our hard work, and a symbol of the company’s continued growth and success. 

“The new technology center is a demonstration of our commitment to moving forward, supporting both product development and innovation, enabling us to invest in the technologies we manufacture and export across the globe.”
