In the summer of 2024, S+B UK completed the installation of bespoke laboratory furniture at Siemens Healthineers’ healthcare centre of excellence in Llanberis, Wales. This state-of-the-art facility represents a multi-million-pound investment in advanced research and development (R&D) for laboratory diagnostics. The project, supported by the Welsh Government, ensures long-term economic benefits by safeguarding and creating 500 jobs while driving innovation in healthcare technology.
Siemens Healthineers is a global leader in healthcare solutions, renowned for its cutting-edge medical technologies. The Llanberis site is the exclusive manufacturer of IMMULITE® reagents, which are essential for diagnostic blood analysers. These reagents enable the diagnosis and treatment of over 100 disease states and facilitate 570 allergy tests. Distributed to laboratories in over 50 countries, they play an integral role in pharmaceutical laboratories worldwide.
S+B UK collaborated with Wayne Construction and consultants from DPS Group Global to deliver a comprehensive laboratory fit-out for this pharmaceutical facility. Drawing on our expertise as leading laboratory furniture manufacturers, we provided bespoke solutions that met the exacting standards required for advanced R&D environments.
The bespoke laboratory furniture manufactured and installed by S+B UK spans 19 rooms and includes laboratory benches with over-bench shelving, vertical risers, and safety stations. All the worktops were manufactured from Trespa Toplab Plus, renowned for their durability and chemical resistance. We also supplied 316 stainless steel sinks to meet strict pharmaceutical standards, all supported by our Pedestal System.
The primary system provided was the Exemplaire C frame, with mobile cabinets adding versatility and ensuring optimised use of space. Together, these furniture solutions created a functional, future-proof laboratory environment designed to support Siemens Healthineers’ cutting-edge diagnostic work.
S+B UK’s involvement in this project highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality laboratory solutions for the pharmaceutical industry. As laboratory furniture manufacturers, we’re proud to have played a key role in creating a facility that’s set to push the boundaries of healthcare research and diagnostics for many years to come.
