Xaar has beaten competition from hundreds of other UK companies to win a place in the Government’s ‘Make it in Great Britain’ exhibition this summer.  

Xaar joins over 40 British businesses at the event, including such iconic brands as Airbus, McLaren and BAE Systems.

The exhibition of cutting-edge British manufacturing takes place at the Science Museum from 24 July to 9 September to coincide with the Olympic and Paralympic games.  It is the culmination of the ‘Make it in Great Britain’ campaign launched last year by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to challenge outdated opinions of modern manufacturing and dispel the myth that Britain ‘doesn’t make anything anymore’. Xaar will showcase some of its leading technology to demonstrate to exhibition visitors the value of manufacturing to UK business.

“We are delighted to be part of such a great platform for British innovation,” said Ted Wiggans, Operations Director at Xaar.  “It’s a wonderful opportunity to showcase our innovative printhead technology that was invented in the UK.  Our flagship Xaar 1001 printhead is manufactured in the UK and 86% of our printheads are exported, sold and used all over the world, making an important contribution to the UK economy.  We invest around 8% of turnover in R&D and are always looking for highly skilled and motivated individuals to help us grow the business further.”
