Leading Panel Manufacturer Supplies Bespoke Worktops to University Laboratory

Sheffield-based Panel Systems, a leading manufacturer of decorative and composite panels, has recently supplied Trespa Top Lab for a university laboratory in the North East of England.

The leading panel fabricator supplied 700m2 of Trespa Top Lab, which it machined, routed grooves for sink drainers, cut to size and supplied to meet installation deadlines. The university was undertaking a refurbishment of its facilities to create a world class laboratory and teaching space, which included state-of-the-art analytical equipment.

Danny Phelan, Sales Manager at Panel Systems, said: “Our business with both private and public sector laboratories has increased significantly over recent months and we see this as a major growth area for the future.  We have invested heavily in 3D CAD/CAM software and 5-axis equipment to ensure we can produce bespoke design, cutting and routing of Trespa and other materials to meet customer requirements.”

Panel Systems has extensive 3 and 5-axis CNC equipment within its facility in South Yorkshire. The company’s CNC Machining & Cutting Division provides machining capabilities for materials supplied to the construction, furniture, leisure, automotive, caravan and leisure equipment industry.

Trespa Top Lab offers a long lasting hygienic surface, impact and scratch resistance and aesthetic qualities. For many laboratories, it is the perfect surface for quality worktops within a demanding environment. Panel Systems is also a national distributor for Trespa external cladding for architectural and building applications.
