ETC Ltd has officially moved to its new state-of-the-art eco-building and base in the UK - in London.

The new site is more than double the size of ETC’s former premises boasting over 35,000 square feet of floor space. The move marks a significant milestone in the company’s growth and expanding business offering. 

ETC’s own in-house team has developed the design for the new building which includes larger demonstration spaces and increased capacity for training, logistics, conferencing, collaboration and more. There is also a new visualisation suite in the building which is available for industry professionals to use and prepare their shows in. The additional warehousing space also holds significantly more inventory to meet the growing demands of the business, and support the needs of ETC’s customers.

The new building is lit and controlled by ETC products, all centered around ETC’s F-Drive power control system. They power ArcSystem Navis fixtures throughout the building; over 150 meters of third party LED tape, and F-Drive compatible Irideon and Source Four Mini LED luminaires. ETC Paradigm controls all of the architectural lighting, including occupancy and daylight harvesting sensors, to enrich the energy saving credentials of the building. The renowned ‘Playhouse’ demo facility has been moved to the new location – now with additional floorspace and height as well as five Prodigy P2 stage machinery hoists and the latest range of fixtures fitted for customer demos.

Situated in west London’s Greenford, the new premises provide a high-specification working environment for employees as well as a range of sustainability credentials. The building is the first industrial refurbishment of its type in the world that is completed to BREEAM Outstanding standards, meaning it is in the top 1% of non-domestic buildings in the UK. Power is derived from roof mounted solar panel banks generating 180 kW with on-site battery storage of up to 80 kWh of energy. The building also has electric vehicle charging points, and a rainwater harvesting system feeding a 144 m2 external green wall. 

ETC General Manager, Matthew Brookfield comments: “We are excited to start this new chapter in a space that reflects our vision for the future growth of the firm. Our new facility represents more than just a new address; it’s a commitment to our employees, customers, and end users. This building will allow us to enhance our operations even more and ensure that we continue to deliver the best solutions and service.”

ETC training sessions will commence from January 2025 in the new building. Find out more at etcconnect.com/Training.
