Avtron Power Solutions Announces Major Expansion to Peterborough as Part of Growth Strategy

Stamford, U.K. — November 11, 2026 — Avtron Power Solutions (a trading name of NJ Froment & Co Ltd), a business unit of Legrand and a long-established British manufacturer of market-leading power testing equipment, has announced plans to expand its UK operations to a significantly larger facility at Morley Way, Peterborough.

The move marks a major milestone in the company’s growth journey, driven by rising global demand for its specialist power testing products. The new site will enable Avtron to expand production capacity, enhance operational efficiency, shorten lead times, and support the creation of new skilled jobs in the region.

The relocation will bring over 100 skilled manufacturing and engineering jobs into Peterborough, with the potential for further roles as the business continues to grow. The current site in Easton on the Hill near Stamford will remain in operation as a head office, service center, and fabrication hub.

This investment strengthens Peterborough’s position as a centre for advanced manufacturing and engineering, contributing positively to the city’s industrial base and wider local economy.

Zac Bridgeman, General Manager and Vice President of Avtron, expressed excitement about the move:

“This expansion represents a transformative moment for Avtron. The new Peterborough facility gives us the space, infrastructure and modern environment needed to meet growing global demand and produce industry-leading technology and world-class products.

We are proud of our heritage and excited to be expanding our capabilities. This investment will bring new jobs and opportunities into the local area and will significantly strengthen our ability to grow in the years ahead.”

Avtron’s expansion reflects continued confidence in British engineering, manufacturing, and export capability. With customers across the world and a market-leading product portfolio, the company’s investment reinforces the UK’s reputation for high-quality industrial innovation.

The new Peterborough facility will accommodate upgraded production lines, modernised testing environments, improved accessibility, and new offices, supporting both current and future operational needs.
