Havant, 3rd Dec 2001 - On the back of excellent worldwide growth and expansion, leading high reliability computer manufacturer I-Bus is delighted to announce the relocation from Havant, Hampshire to new, larger purpose built premises in Tangmere, West Sussex.

From December, the Chichester Business Park will become the new focal point for all the company's European operations. Spanning 20,000 square feet, the new facilities will act as the company's Headquarters and Distribution Centre for the whole of Europe. It will serve the French, German and Scandinavian offices, accommodate state-of-the-art integration facilities, and provide technical support and Quality Assurance backup for all products.

"We are delighted with the move and the new challenges that lie ahead", says Managing Director, John Weller. "The Chichester location is ideal. Not only are there excellent communication and transport infrastructures, including road, rail and air, but we are closer to our UK chassis manufacturing facility based in Uckfield, East Sussex. The new purpose built facility satisfies our current business needs and an extra 5000 square feet has been allocated for future expansion".

The move to larger premises is required because I-Bus has seen demand for application lead products escalate over the last few years. The ability to design and manufacture fully integrated computer platforms from here in the UK is a unique selling point. This means customers can see their solution being built from start to finish. In some instances,
I-Bus even ship finished products direct to the customer's distribution channel. This single vendor approach means OEMs can focus entirely on their core business activities.
