SolderKing, a leading UK manufacturer of soldering materials, has expanded its operations by doubling its facility. The move follows a significant rise in export sales throughout 2024 and reinforces the company’s position as a key supplier of regulatory-compliant soldering solutions across the UK and Europe.
The expansion into the adjacent premises provides additional space to optimise workflow, increase production efficiency, and support future growth. As part of this, SolderKing has added further advanced solder wire drawing and paste mixing machinery to enhance its existing operations. This investment increases production capacity across its range of cored and solid solder wires, ensuring a reliable supply for applications including hand soldering, selective soldering, and robotic soldering.
Chris Ward, Chief Operating Officer of SolderKing, said: "The continued growth in export sales has created an opportunity to expand our production capacity and further enhance our operations. Doubling our facility allows us to build on our strengths, improve efficiency, and ensure faster lead times. This investment reflects our commitment to supporting our customers with high-quality soldering solutions as demand continues to grow.”
The additional space will also support SolderKing’s ongoing research and development efforts, enabling the company to introduce new formulations and enhanced soldering products that meet evolving industry needs. With a focus on performance and compliance, the company continues to develop solutions that align with stringent manufacturing standards across the electronics sector.
Alongside production growth, SolderKing remains committed to sustainability by optimising its manufacturing processes and ensuring responsible waste management. The expansion positions the company for continued success in 2025 and beyond, strengthening its role as a trusted partner in the global soldering industry.
