Third Dimension measures up new Bristol base to support business growth
Precision measurement firm Third Dimension has announced the relocation of its headquarters in a move that will support company growth.
CEO Francois Froment said the new base will enable the business to build on last year’s strong overall performance during 2023.
The Bristol-headquartered manufacturers of the GapGun and Vectro handheld and robot-deployed non-contact gauging systems is on the move after experiencing strong sales in overseas markets.
Froment said: “Operating more smartly is at the heart of everything Third Dimension do, and we are now in a strong position to step up our ability to deliver state-of-the-art solutions for the automotive, aerospace, energy, and consumer goods manufacturing sectors.
“The move is driven by a complete change of work behaviour post-Covid, and by our commitment to sustainability because our new premises will help us to reduce our carbon footprint. While we are only moving next door, this is a statement of intent for us, enabling us to adapt and respond to demand, taking advantage of new opportunities.”
Third Dimension, which is based in the Filton industrial area of Bristol, and counts the likes of Airbus and BAE as neighbours, designs and sells precision measurement tools for manufacturing.
The relocation follows Third Dimension’s creation of a new Application Engineering team to deepen its technical expertise and strengthen its customer support resource at the new base which is home to assembly, calibration and office functions.
The company, whose products are manufactured in the UK but sold globally, has a long and reputable track record of supplying non-contact optical measurement equipment and services to the largest names in aerospace, automotive and energy sectors worldwide.
Third Dimension’s GapGun and Vectro products enable OEMs, Tier 1s and Tier 2s to manufacture to tighter tolerances, carry out quality checks quickly and keep an audit trail on all measurements, providing the assurance companies need to advance manufacturing.
