PMC opens a new production facility

PMC has opened a new UK based production facility to increase manufacturing capacity for its recently launched ci series, enabling supply to keep up with the high-volume demands of its worldwide distributors and installation customers.

‘The reaction to the new ci series has been nothing short of phenomenal, with demand from custom installers and our worldwide distributors outpacing our ability to manufacture’, says PMC’s owner Peter Thomas. ‘And, in addition to the CI market, the ci series also goes well beyond Dolby’s minimum requirements for Dolby Atmos studio systems, making them the template for internationally acclaimed studios such as Capitol Studios in Los Angeles and Dean Street Studios in London.

‘With an anticipated sharp uptake in demand from installers and more and more professional studios embracing Dolby Atmos music mixing, we needed to increase our production facilities, hence the exciting news that have just opened our latest production site.’

Based on an industrial estate in Sandy, Bedfordshire – just 10 minutes from PMC’s head office in Biggleswade – the new factory covers 6,000 square feet and includes additional space for warehousing. Alongside the very latest manufacturing equipment, PMC has invested in facilities for stringent acoustic testing and critical listening, which will be carried out on every monitor before it is despatched.

In addition to the new manufacturing facilities, PMC is also increasing its staff resources to support the expansion of the business.
