To all of you,

A big thank you to all our customers, distributors as well as our suppliers for helping us make 2022 another hugely successful year for Cambridge Sensotec.  For the first time in our twenty-two year history we have exceeded £4M in sales thanks to the efforts of our sales, manufacturing, and support teams. We expect to be a £5M company by the end of 2023.

2022 has been far more challenging than we ever expected at the start of the year.  We have struggled to source critical components, especially microchips and other electronics, and have had to face endless rising costs in materials as well as fuel & energy.  Because of this we now hold close to a million pounds worth of stock to keep our manufacturing going and we have invested in new double glazing in our entire factory to improve our heat insulation.  As I type this on the coldest day of the year so far, I’m glad we did it before the winter months arrived!

Our R&D team has spent most of this year converting our entire gas-analyser product range over to our latest Reduced Size mother Board (RSB) which means we now only need to worry about the components on a single board instead of three.  The RSB has proven extremely popular in the Rapidox OEM business where compact size is critical and we are excited to announce that we are in the final stages of producing a SIL2 rated version ready for the spring of 2023.

Our MK2 SF₆ pumpback analyser was finally launched in April this year and has been a roaring success.  We literally can’t build them fast enough!  We are also in the middle of working with our SF₆ sensor manufacturer to produce a version in 2023 to support the next generation of SF₆ replacement gases now on the market (Novec 4C and 5C).

None of this work would be possible without your continued support, and confidence in our sales and after-sales-support resources. We are always trying to find new ways to improve our products and our working practices each day.

Thank you for playing such a pivotal role in our success story.  On behalf of the Team here at Cambridge Sensotec I would like to wish everyone a happy and peaceful Christmas and send our best wishes to you all for the New Year.

With the year coming to an end soon, we just wanted to let our valued readers know some of the good things that have happened in a very challenging year. Of course, none of it would be possible without your continued support, so thank you from the team here at Rapidox SF₆.

2020 Highlights (so far):
> This is our 5th consecutive year of sales growth
> Established as the number one SF₆ Gas Analyser in several territories worldwide
> Details to be announced in the near future of a major partnership to supply SF₆ Gas Handling equipment
> Recruitment of local staff to support our products across the globe

In case you missed it, we also have a new section on the website which focuses on the Rapidox SF₆ Fixed Detection System. This is a wide area monitoring solution to ensure safety for those working with high voltage switchgear, transformers, and such.

We believe the 6100 range is one of the best on the market today. To find out more about the analysers and the SF₆ gas analysis applications we deal with, please contact us.

With the holiday season in the U.K. upon us, we would like to inform you of the office and manufacturing closures in December and January.

This year, we are closed on the 25th & 26th of December, as well as the 1st January 2020. We will still be able to assist for most of the seasonal period, catering to the demand of all our valued customers.

For information on delivery schedules throughout this period for our Rapidox gas analysers, please contact us on +44 (0)7900 095826 or email sales@sf6.co.uk.

All of us at Cambridge Sensotec/Rapidox SF₆ are excited for 2020 and would like to say a massive thank you for your continued business and support. We wish you a happy and successful New Year.
