CB Technology creates new jobs following growth
Independent electronics contract manufacturer CB Technology has seen a 36% increase in turnover for 2022-23, taking its revenues to £14.3m. The firm’s revenues have increased 500% since a management buy-in backed by Maven Capital Partners in 2015. The Livingston-based manufacturer says it remains on track to achieve a £20m turnover target by 2025.
Over the last 18 months, CB Technology has continued to diversify its manufacturing capability beyond its traditional energy sector involvement with the addition of new clients in communications, IoT, and the life sciences sectors. The company continues to invest in new equipment, along with increasing its headcount to 85 over the last year. Three apprentices have also been recruited, with plans to increase that number over the coming year.
