AN AWARD-WINNING Scottish speaker manufacturer has opened its new factory doors in Glasgow for the first time.
Founded in 2017, Fyne Audio creates hand-crafted loudspeakers that music enthusiasts and audiophiles enjoy worldwide.
Best known for its “unrivalled bass reproduction” the technology firm's new manufacturing facility in Bellshill aims to help keep up with the “growing demand” for its “world-class” speakers.
The newly opened site spans nearly 50,000 square feet with more than 20,000 square feet of working space, including dedicated warehousing, manufacturing, and engineering facilities.
Managing director of Fyne Audio, Anji Sosna, said along with the opening of the factory Fyne Audio is looking to hire more people in the local community to work in engineering, manufacturing, and logistics.
The firm currently has 22 employees but is looking to more than double its workforce to 50 with the new factory complete.
Sosna said: “We're thrilled to unveil our new factory, which represents the culmination of years of hard work and considerable financial investment.
“This expansion allows us to not only meet the growing global demand for our products but also reinforces our position as a leading manufacturer of British-made hi-fi. The increased capacity will enable us to produce considerably more units from premium UK-made loudspeaker series.”
The company also has plans to install 400 solar panels on the factory roof in a bid to power the full site using renewable energy.
The factory’s facilities include a bespoke demonstration room where visitors can experience Fyne Audio’s loudspeakers in action.
It also houses Fyne’s engineering labs, an in-house deep cryogenic treatment chamber, and expanded workstations.
“By bringing everything under one roof in the UK, we’re improving not only efficiency but also the overall quality and control of the entire production process,” Sosna said.
He added: “We’ve always been focused on pushing the boundaries of loudspeaker technology, and this new facility will allow us to continue that journey.”
