UK Design Capability
At our dedicated Design and Build Centre in Weymouth, you have access to the extensive optoelectronics and display technology experience and expertise of our design team. Our broad component knowledge and well established relationships with leading suppliers are the results of Pacer’s history as the leading specialist optoelectronic and display distributor in the UK. We build on this know-how to solve electronic design challenges using the emission, sensing, detection or processing of light.
We have in-house electronic, optical and mechanical design expertise, and can advise on technical as well as commercial aspects of a new project. Our team works with a carefully chosen network of strategic partners from across the globe, all of whom offer competitive and high quality solutions to complement our in house resources when required. We are strategically placed to be able to offer full electronic and mechanical design and verification, rapid local prototyping and UK manufacture if required. We have both UK and Far East materials and component procurement channels, and we can access cost effective medium and high volume manufacture via our network partners. We have the flexibility to take on as much or as little of your project as you need us to.
