Force Technologies marks its 40th anniversary this week, and what a way to celebrate. On Monday, we welcomed vip guests to the official opening of two brand new facilities: the Titan Storage Lab and the Sovereign Test Lab, in an event that marked not just a birthday, but a bold step into the next chapter of the business.
The Mayor of Hungerford, Jerry Keates and our CEO Karen Salmon officially opened both labs, joined by friends, colleagues, and industry peers, many of whom were already in the area for the IIOM meeting in Swindon, which Force Technologies was proud to sponsor. It made for a genuinely special gathering of the people who matter most to the obsolescence industry.
Karen gave a formal speech reflecting on the journey of the last four decades and the ambition that drives the business forward with special mention to our wonderful staff who have worked tirelessly to get us to this stage. Our guests were then treated to a full tour of the new facilities, getting a first-hand look at what these labs mean for the future.
The Titan Storage Lab is already operating at capacity, with cabinets filling fast and new orders arriving daily. Long-term storage has been one of the fastest growing areas of the business over the past year, and the new facility gives Force Technologies the space and infrastructure to meet that demand head on. The Sovereign Test Lab, meanwhile, significantly expands the company’s testing capabilities, opening up new possibilities for clients across the sector.
Forty years in, Force Technologies is not standing still. The opening of these two labs is a clear signal of where the business is headed, and the packed room on Monday was a fitting tribute to everything that has been built so far.
We are excited to see what the next 40 years brings, we look forward to working together with you to find out.
