Flexi Sirius from Lambda, the world's number one power supply manufacturer, is the latest addition to the company's range of advanced configurable power supplies.
"Ilfracombe and North Devon should take pride in having such a strong manufacturing company here", commented Harvey.
"Its recent adoption of the most modern practices positions it perfectly as its key markets - like telecoms - recover and grow".
The additional space is required to house the company's telecom rectifier power supply business following its transfer to Ilfracombe and quickly follows the opening of the new DC/DC convertor production line at the site.
Telecomms rectifiers are an important component of DC energy systems which are used in power telecomms infrastructure equipment worldwide.
Lambda's rectifier operations include the assembly of three ranges of rectifier power supplies: the 1500W LR, the 2000W WR and the 5.6kW LRFHI, together with BT LR48 and LR24 rectifier rack systems.
Associated rectifier components such as controllers and systems boards are also manufactured within a fully refurbished production area.
The new mezzanine area houses the production lines of Lambda's latest families of configurable AC/DC power supplies, Sirius and Vega.
