Europa, one of the UK’s leading distributors of electrical components and smart solutions, has been praised for its innovation, sustainability and contribution to local employment.
The company welcomed Rachel Hopkins, MP for Luton South and South Bedfordshire, to its Luton head office where she met with its senior leadership team, toured the company’s Research & Development facilities, and learned more about its ambitious plans.
The company has embraced innovation through custom-built product solutions, enhanced technical support for customers, and significant investment in IT infrastructure, manufacturing and testing facilities at its headquarters.
Its portfolio includes smart technologies, renewable solutions, and bespoke design-and-build services, with multiple new products and range additions launching this year.
Over the past decade, Europa’s workforce has also doubled to more than 80 employees, and the business has been embarking on a recruitment drive as it gears up for the next phase of strategic growth.
Ms Hopkins said:
“It was a pleasure to visit Europa PLC and find out more about the extensive range of services the business provides. We had great discussions around their innovative use of new technology to improve energy efficiency and safety, and the growth of the renewables industry."
“They are a key local employer in our town, and I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.”
Sonia Freed, Managing Director at Europa, said:
“Having our head office in Luton and being a major employer in the area is something we’re extremely proud of, and it was a privilege to welcome Rachel to our site."
“Her visit was a great opportunity to highlight the importance of safety and innovation in the renewables sector, and we introduced Rachel to our growing number of innovative products, including our Solar Guardian and Fanton Connectors. We also discussed the importance of ensuring that, as the renewables industry grows, it does so safely."
“As Europa looks ahead, the business remains focused on its long-standing commitment to quality, sustainability and service – while continuing to invest in smart and renewable technologies that will help shape the next chapter of the industry.”
