The carbon-neutral facility serves as Leviton Network Solutions EMEA headquarters where it manufactures high-performance fibre optic and copper cables, along with customised pre-terminated assemblies.
These investments include new production equipment to meet demand for Leviton’s latest high-speed Ethernet cables. Also, £600,000 was used to further Leviton’s sustainability commitments with the installation of solar energy panels.
Ian Wilkie, managing director of Leviton Network Solutions Europe, said: “The ability to generate solar energy onsite helps us offset soaring and unpredictable energy costs whilst delivering clean renewable energy.”
Part of the Glenrothes community for 50 years
These new investments are part of Leviton’s long history of manufacturing investment in Glenrothes.
The Glenrothes site was established by Brand-Rex in 1972 and has supported many technological advances since. The hardworking members of the community who have worked in Glenrothes for more than 50 years have all contributed to its success.
US based Leviton acquired the company in 2015, solidifying its ability to support customers globally as a single source for complete end-to-end cabling systems.
Leviton created a new data centre production cell in 2017, enabling the Glenrothes facility to produce custom configured pre-terminated cable assemblies.
These quality assured “plug-and-play” solutions are designed for rapid installation in vast data centres that connect business and homes to cloud computing networks.
Environmental impact of Leviton
Ian said: “Sustainability is a core tenet of our UK operations. In 2011, the Glenrothes facility became the first in its industry to achieve carbon neutrality. Environmental impact is considered at every step of Leviton’s product development process, from material sourcing to final packaging and logistics.”
With talented and empowered employees the company is proud of the role it has been able to play in both shaping and using the latest technology in the development, production, validation and deployment of cabling that connects virtually every aspect of our lives.
Ian added: “Leviton’s success is only possible thanks to the contribution from our employees, most coming from the local community. We recognise this and seek to pay back through close engagement with local charities, schools and other community groups.”
Leviton Network Solutions is honoured to be shortlisted as a Courier Business Awards 2023 finalist and thank all its employees to get to this stage.
