GREENVILLE, S.C. — Paxton Access, a global manufacturer of IP access control and door entry solutions, recently opened a new state-of-the-art center for technology and innovation next door to its headquarters in Brighton, England.

The 29,000-square-foot Paxton Technology Centre is now home to the company’s product R&D departments. The company created a time-lapse video highlighting the construction and transformation of the new center, which can be viewed below.

“We are delighted with our new center and feel it’s a real statement of intent showing the direction the company is moving. For over 30 years, we have aimed for engineering excellence, designing and manufacturing intelligent and innovative security products,” says Paxton Group CEO Adam Stroud. “The investment we continue to make into product research and development, enables us to continue to drive innovation within the global security market.”

The new R&D center has been designed to create a dynamic and collaborative working environment for the company’s head office team, Stroud says. It features an open plan working space that “creates the perfect setting to support hundreds of decisions being made every day, to progress the company towards further global expansion and the diversification of our extensive product range,” he continues.

Paxton continues to grow its presence in North America as well from its U.S.-based headquarters, located here. In 2017 the company more than doubled the size of its technical support team, added a new team of field training engineers and increased its national team of regional sales managers to 10, according to an announcement.

Last year, the company also saw the start of production and assembly of its Net2 access control products from its Greenville, S.C. facility. The company’s solutions also include Paxton BLU, a Cloud-based access control solution.
