The largest buildings controls company in the UK, Satchwell Control Systems offers an extensive range of products from valves, actuators and environment sensors through to sophisticated building management systems which utilize the latest computer technologies. Despite the highly adverse market conditions that continue to prevail in the UK and European construction industries, Satchwell continues to expand by the aggressive development of its business in overseas markets, notably Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region. Sustained investment in product development to meet ever changing market requirements and the recent introduction of the latest generation of Building Management System, BAS 2800, are key parts of the strategy to become a major player in world markets. This continues a strong tradition of pioneering technical innovation which has been pre-eminent throughout the Company's 75-year history. This paper charts not only that history, but also highlights some of those technological achievements, which include many world firsts.
