Scanwel

Description

Scanwel is a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality vacuum, surface and nanoscience equipment for academia, government laboratories and industry.

Scanwel was established in 1974 by the company founder, Harald Westgaard. The name, Scanwel, comes from a combination of Harald's origin, Scandinavian, and the company's Welsh heritage.

The company moved to The Old School in Llandderfel, North Wales, in 1977 and remained operating from there for 42 years, as well as opening a second systems assembly factory in 1995.

In 2019, the business moved to new premises on the Bala Enterprise Park, to include a larger manufacturing facility, and significantly increased storage space in the warehouse, to support expansion.

In 2020, Heligan Group made an investment into the company and it continues to grow.

Scanwel remains a family and employee owned organisation.
